Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI - Harari. How information traveled historically, with modern technology, and in the near future. Enlightening and a little scary.
Nexus (1, 2 and 3) - Ramez Naam - Great scifi exploring human -> cyborg transformations across the world. An OS for the mind had me very excited and scared for the future of computing.
Nexus (Ramez Naam) - This science fiction book explores transhumanism and would it could mean in the near future. It's both light and pulpy, but at the same time makes you think about the outcomes of technological progression.
Systemantics, Nexus: if you work in mega-big-corpos this will save your life
Nexus, by Ramez Naam (book 1 of 3). Nanobots meet augmented reality, transhumanism. Good.
Nexus, ramez naam. Good down to earth story for more people, and topic is right on the cusp of being ethically relevant (perception tech)
