Fortysomething divorced taxidermist Romie Futch becomes a research subject at the Center for Cybernetic Neuroscience, where "scientists" download humanities disciplines into his brain. With his new and improved brain Romie hopes to reclaim his marriage, revolutionize his life, and revive his artistic aspirations, but ends up getting mixed up in the absurd and murky underworld of biotech operatives, FDA agents, and environmental activists.

The New and Improved Romie Futch

I’m being generous with the rating. It’s just my opinion, but I got very bored of the book. I just wanted to finish the last 40% in one second, but I trudged though it (although I did do a fair amount of speed reading). I appreciated some of the humor in the book, but that’s all that really kept me reading (and the fact that I wanted to see what happened at the end, which was less exciting than I wanted it to be). That’s all I really have to say, and I’m glad it’s over. Again, this is just my opinion.
