Narration During Books Circuit of Heaven (Circuit of Heaven #1)

The body is baggage. The soul is expendable.

Nemo's mother and father left him behind to enter "the Bin"--joining twelve billion uploaded personalities who live in crime-free, disease-free and deathless virtual societies.

Nemo has come of age on a dangerous, near-deserted planet populated by a handful of stragglers: religious fundamentalists and rebels, the creeps and the crazies. Now he is twenty-one. And on a rare, reluctant visit to the parents who abandoned their flesh and blood son for cyber-utopia, Nemo has met the perfect woman: a new Bin arrival named Justine, a beautiful pop singer who dreams other people's dreams in the virtual night.

Now an inconvenient attraction is leading two lovers into a perilous mire of irreversible choice. For Justine has no body to return to. And Nemo the renegade has sworn never to sacrifice his own; to live, age, and die instead in a bleak earthly hell. Because, as an outsider, he may enter the Bin for short periods of time. But if he ever decides to stay...there will be no way out again.

This is a science fiction novel with a love story. Two concepts are explored: the virtual world and constructs which are living being made up of fragments of memories and personalities of a few human beings.Nemo lives in the real world while his parent and most of the population of earth is now living in the "Bin", a virtual world where people have downloaded themselves for eternity. The real world is harsh but Nemo does not want to go to the virtual world as it does not seem real to him.



NoveList Plus gives it this read alike: Neuromancer by William Gibson.

Heartbreaking. And you thought that scifi couldn't be emotional.

The SFnal elements were quite interesting, and I really liked the ambiguousness of the morality of abandoning the physical world.The plot was predictable, though, and many of the characters fairly wooden. It felt somewhat like it had been dumbed down to fit the YA market, though there was enough sex and language to make me think that wasn't the case.Worth reading for the neat ideas.

I love my dystopian futures, and Circuit of Heaven is a good, novel one, because while there are still a few hold-outs in the rapidly degrading world, most people have been "uploaded" to a new world that's practically perfect in every way. The center story of this novel is the love story of Nemo and Justine, but I found myself way more interested in the various side characters and how they dealt with the strange dual nature of the world.
