I finished reading James Halperin's The Truth Machine today. Excellent book. Took me a few days to get through it, due mostly to work and sleep.

The story is centered around Randall Peterson Armstrong, the inventor of the "Truth Machine." All I can find to say is that it's an incredibly good read full of insights about the possibilities and dangers that lie ahead... every possible outcome has its benefits, but also has its downsides. There's a balance to be found and a desperate call for a few objective individuals looking out for the human race to make it all work out for the best.

I'd certainly recommend it to anybody. It's available in its entirety online at http://www.truthmachine.com.

I started reading The First Immortal by the same author, also available free of charge online. More on that once I'm done. :)
