Review of 'Spin' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This was a decent novel, and I enjoyed the pacing and much of the speculation in the premise. Some ideas, like the notion of biotech platforms on which applications could be run, felt a bit incomplete (though I freely admit that this is probably because I've seen those ideas done better by others) but overall I enjoyed the book.
