The Dark Fields (A.K.A Limitless) by Alan Glynn
I just got my book a couple days ago, and I'm not very far yet. The main chracter's name is Eddie Spinola and he is an aspiring writer who has close to no cash and is also behind on his rent. I've seen the movie though, and if its anything like the book, then Eddie gets a fix of a new drug that taps all of the human brain at one time. Soon Eddie is up to his ears and knowledge, but also trouble. I can't wait to read further into this book.

(Que Fallot/Dune reference.) Ah, is this pill called a "mentat?" Anyway, that's interesting. A pill that boosts (Que RPG reference) intelligence by about 20 points. I guess. Hmmmm, I just thought of the "Manchurian Candidate" just now, with out the creepy psychological assassination/politics/mad science in the form of regular science.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like an interesting book. I hope you realize that movies are way different than the book. I can see how you think that this guy could into some huge trouble messing with people's brains.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard about this book or the movie but by the little bit of info you've shared it sounds pretty good. looking forward to hearing more in depth what happens.
ReplyDeleteI have seen previews for the movie and it looked good but I never got around to seeing it! It would freak me out to know everything. I don't think I would like that, seems like it would be to stressful to watch a bunch of naive people running around getting themselves into bad positions!
ReplyDeleteThe movie was AMAZING. I didn't know it was a book. I am very interested to know about how much the movie strays from the book.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book so far.Can't wait to hear more about it
