review 1: What if, in a alternate future, the Muslim religion is the dominant power in our universe. The "debuggers" who repair the advanced technological machines that carry out all the needs of this male-dominant society of "Masters" are themselves enslaved by implants in their heads which allow them to engage with the machines they are sent to repair with the help of the "stream". Data is "streamed" into their heads instantly and allows the debuggers to do their jobs and communicate with each other in a non-verbal enhanced virtual way, which seems really cool until you realize the implants can be the source of intense pain that is controlled (of course) by their Masters. This is just the background to an intriguing story of self-discovery in a repressive society. The idea of th... moree Stream seems to be the logical future development of our digital revolution. I downloaded this book to my Kindle at a great price and would recommend it to anyone who loves thought-provoking SF and a great adventure.
review 2: An outstanding story based in a universe where class subjugation is enforced by the Masters by using chip surgically implanted in the head of the working class at a tender age of ten. The society has come together after many wars and is justified by religious hierarchy loosely based on Islam. The working class (debuggers) have an ability to communicate using their implanted chips and access all data that is accumulated defining nano technology, robotics and other smart technology they exist to maintain. An engaging social and physical structure exists that insures the debuggers are relegated to second class citizenship existing only to serve the ruling class (Abduls) who wield the pain inducing chip controllers to insure the debuggers remain subservient and obedient. As in most cases where an imbalance of power exists, the Masters use of the pain chip is frequently abusive and capricious. Change is introduced when a intergalactic star ship receives a singing message from a distant star which reprograms humans and robots. The participates an opportunity for two debuggers to find each other, explore the source of these strange communications from the stars and completely through off their yokes. The worm turns and society will have some bumps to overcome before humanity finds a religious balance. This is a generous creation of a compelling universe where the underdog has a chance to overcome over whelming odds to find true freedom and humanity. The imaginative scenery and edge of chair suspense keeps this a real page turner! A Kendle e'book the is well worth the low price. I'll be looking for additional Kerry Nietz books to keep me entertained. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys science fiction, less
