Publisher's Summary
With such compelling and provocative novels as Red Planet Blues, FlashForward, and The WWW Trilogy, Robert J. Sawyer has proven himself to be "a writer of boundless confidence and bold scientific extrapolation" (The New York Times). Now, the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author explores the thin line between good and evil that every human being is capable of crossing....
Experimental psychologist Jim Marchuk has developed a flawless technique for identifying the previously undetected psychopaths lurking everywhere in society. But while being cross-examined about his breakthrough in court, Jim is shocked to discover that he has lost his memories of six months of his life from 20 years previously - a dark time during which he himself committed heinous acts.
Jim is reunited with Kayla Huron, his forgotten girlfriend from his lost period and now a quantum physicist who has made a stunning discovery about the nature of human consciousness. As a rising tide of violence and hate sweeps across the globe, the psychologist and the physicist combine forces in a race against time to see if they can do the impossible - change human nature - before the entire world descends into darkness.

Great start. Ending was less great.
The science and quantum psychology in this book was alluring and attractive.
The socialist leaning of the protagonist was tough to swallow.
The political climate was more unbelievable than the science fiction parts.
Was hard to finish.

Sublime Story
This was one of the best books that I have ever read; right up there with Carl Sagan and Arthur c. Clark's work as well as today's News Headlines as one review stated . But the best thing for me was that it was based in Canada rather thàn the USA or Europe. Lots of Canadian writers do not do that; really enjoyed the reading too. This book is really worth listening too. I highly recommend it.

Good story
Overall, it was a good story, however I got tired of and frustrated by the constant mentioning of Q1 Q2 and Q3!

Very Interesting Premise
Very interesting story and well narrated. Of all the books I have read and listened to, it is the first one set in my humble city. I was so drawn into the story and its various accurately described settings, I felt I might run into the main characters at any time. Caught my attention from the first paragraph. Over and over I wondered what I would do if faced with the same issues experienced by the characters. Three very small pet peeves: it's Pem-bin-a Highway not Pem-bee-na Highway; in Winnipeg we call it Tim's or Timmy's not Tim Hortons; and we order Pizza, not a pie. Otherwise, great listen!

Brilliant from start to finish
Every one of his books is based on some reality or possibility posed simply by listening to the news or reading scientific advances. This one I listened to twice. While I hope there is little truth in this one it appears that so much of the world news could be dropped directly into this story without set up or change.

Authentic story
Sawyer did a wonderful job of integrating some established scientific facts into a sci-fi story. The interplay of depictions of real-life Canadian artifacts, imaginary scientific inventions, and unthinkable political development capture brings the reader right into the whirlpool of unfolding series of emotional events. The story provides an unusual angle to our understanding of right and wrong and allows to reexamine our own beliefs and perceptions.

If only it were true - cool quantum application
Very well thought through, entertaining story on how quantum physics can save the world! I love science based fiction, and have only a superficial understanding of quantum physics. Now I have to figure out how much of this story is science and how much is fiction.

An Excellent Read
As usual, Robert J Sawyer does not disappoint. His well researched topic with his story-telling mastery brings a fascinating tale where one cannot discern reality from science fiction. I couldn't put this book down. Excellent story expertly written.

Fantastic. Not balm for the soul though.
This reflection on the nature of mankind is an outstanding story read by a talented narrator. It won’t make you feel better about our current state but offers a fun scientific explanation for our ignorance and evil. Loved it.
