a scintillating, visionary tale that really delightfully trips one out page after page. I found the language sumptuous and the story intriguing, though (and because) many of the prophecies in this book have come to fruition.

DJB writes with an uncanny flair for the idealistic and the romantic with the piercing edge of a scientist. His dreams are way bigger than most and his conscious mind travels into dimensions equally vast, intricate and hopeful.

This highly unique form of writing jump starts the mind and lifts the reader into paradise.

A most enjoyable work!

Brainchild is a laser guided virtual roller coaster for the senses and imagination. At once provocative, witty and endlessly satisfying, David Jay Brown's universe explores reaches of the psyche that one might never have thought possible. His lush and poetic prose brings to life endearing characters that draw you down the electric rabbit worm-hole into the world of mind manifesting nano tech dreams.
This is without a doubt one of the most engaging and exciting novel I have ever had the pleasure to drench my brain in :) I wouldn't want to give too much away, dont miss out on this masterpiece of science fiction!

Like being waterboarded in rainbow coloured koolaid spiked with acid while alternately receiving a beating with every back issue of Omni magazine. I liked the intro from RAW though.

This is one of my favorite Science Fiction novels. It's a wild ride to a fantastic future that is not that far away.

When William Gibson wrote 'Neuromancer' he created a new genre of Science Fiction, which we now call 'Cyberpunk.' I believe that this book and 'The Diamond Age' by Neal Stephenson define a new genre of Science Fiction that speculates about a future that is similar to the Cyberpunk visionaries, but more wrapped up in the science of molecular nanotechnology. In short, it creates a new genre that I would call Nanopunk.

This novel is not only a fantastic work of fiction, it's also a dynamic and thought provoking look into human consciousness, technology, and how humans are evolving as a species. It raises questions that will get you thinking about your own true nature as well as the nature of the world around you.

Sexy, shocking, dystopian, utopian, bizarre, and subversive all at the same time, this novel is one of my favorites. David Jay Brown, much like his principal characters, is successful at invoking a world of rich textures into existence.

The introduction by Robert Anton Wilson is insightful and thought provoking as well.

It has been a couple of years since I first read "Brainchild" and I still think about it a lot. I've read it twice and I think I'll pick it up again tonight.

I wish all books were this thought provoking, pure of heart and explosive while remaining clear, concise and fun.

The characters became my friends and were hard to let go of when the book ended. Will there be a sequel?

"Brainchild" is the next bus to infinity. The chapters are where the bus stops but the route is where ever your consciousness allows you to go.

David Jay Brown was courageous to put forth ideas so ahead of their time. I can't wait for his next book!
