book review : Brainstorm

Greetings!

Today I read a book entitled Brainstorm, from the Atama-ii Books series. It is actually my first book from the series and I find the writing style very interesting as it uses the first person point of view in the storyline. As the story grows, the reader, as the main character, will need to make a few decisions that will lead to various endings.  I chose this book because I have some interests in human brain and thought that this book might introduce me to something new.

 

This particular book revolves around the story of a brain surgery on a patient with brain cancer by two scientist. The surgery is carried out by inserting the controllable nano-robots into the patient brain to find and kill cancer cells. However, in this story, the robots duplicate themselves into a very large number and starts to take control of the brain. As the main character, I chose to continue the surgery resulting in the robots to infect both the patient and my fellow colleague. Unfortunately, as I make skin contacts with the both of them, the robots entered my brain as well. To prevent the robots from getting out of the room and harm the people outside, I made a sacrifice by blowing the surgery room up and I died.

Personally, I think this book is very educating as it briefly introduced the elements such as human brain cells and nano-robots at the beginning to make the readers familiar with the terms. The writing style also deserve an applause as it makes the readers feel alert and involved in the storyline. I would suggest reading this book, and the whole series, to experience an interesting decision making while improving your English.
