Just finished reading your novel. I’m a little addle-brained as I just finished and it’s 2:00 in the morning. I purchased and started reading your early-release manuscript some time ago, then lost it on the way back from a construction job in Lexington Va.  I found it on the web site and was captivated by the concepts in it, confused and scared. Even though the “matrix” hasn’t snapped for me yet on many levels, I see the truth of what you are saying. This was really clarified while reading the novel, bringing forth a clearer mental picture of what you are trying to get across. I hope to be among you one day, the top of my field, enjoying life, wealthy with romantic love.  My greatest dream is to one day organize and fund research to help end the horror of disease.  Thanks, you have really lifted my spirits and given me hope during this really dark time. — Anne
