Narration Supposing 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.

I've always been intrigued by the idea of immortality. Who wants to grow old and die? Therefore I was impressed by the fact that, in Circuit of Heaven, Mr. Danvers succeeds in portraying a vision of immortality that is downright repulsive.In this future world, humanity has largely downloaded itself to a virtual reality, a Matrix-like cybernetic environment called "the Bin," where everyone can live forever. The protagonist, Nemo, is a young man who rejects society's move to the Bin, and prefersId either forgotten, or Id never quite realised, that End of Days (which I read last year, I think) is preceded by this book. I will have to, at some future date, re-read the two in the correct order. However, it didnt matter.So, forgetting End of Days for a while, Ill consider this book only:Were about a hundred years in the future (the dates are given somewhere, but I didnt keep them in mind), and several billion of the earths population have uploaded themselves into the Bin. The Bin is a
Who loves random cyberpunk nonsense? I do! this was fun, readable, nothing special. Cool concept which is all I really need.

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.
Omg! I finally found this book. I read it multiple times years ago and either lent it out or lost it??! Probably former ... amazing. Finally searched right key words and found the title. So good!
The book started out with potential but lost my interest about half-way through. My thinking is that the problem lies in too many roles and too few characters. What you end with is a large number of contrived situations where characters magically align. And what characters do exist are largely flat. This book also has the habit of hinting at deeper philosophical questions but leaving them largely untouched.
