Ramez Naam’s Nexus trilogy has been one really intriguing series of books, focusing on the intersection between humanity and cybernetics. Now, it’s taken home one of the genre’s major awards: the Philip K. Dick Award!
The award is handed out by the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society, for “distinguished science fiction published in paperback original form in the United States”.
