The problem with the book was perhaps my expectations. Because Deus Ex let the players have always reflect on what is happening and opposition relate. Deus Ex - Human Revolution in special attacks then multiply the Icarus myth as a beautiful metaphor to represent the conflicts and dilemmas of the local society.
The above-mentioned virtues of the games are missing in the book but completely. So the Icarus Effect is explained, but it is not shown or shown. In my opinion it is missing the point completely, the readers to make a stand and lead the pros and cons of a society is augmented in mind. Instead, there are many Action Agent thriller cliches, with copious action scenes enhanced by technology from the world of augmentation. Overall, the reader is left with no choice but to opt augmentation, because the protagonists show how well and safely as they walk through their Augementierungen through life.
Furthermore, even with the characters, clichés. The protagonists remain consistently good, have little corners and edges. Anna Kelso has a drug problem, which is somehow deeply in the book - perhaps looking upon the Augmentierungs Drug - discussed? No. Ben Sacxton turn is characterlich at the end of the book exactly where he stood the whole time. Character development is out of place here.
In contrast, the Tyrants, the one from Deus Ex - Human Revolution knows, also hardly further elaborated. After Namir further prospects be given interesting insights regarding Yelena, which may be pulled out as eye-candy, and Barret stay out. The remaining Tyrant members are just there and fulfill their roles.
As I said, you should not want more than an action spy thriller, as he could in the evening program running on television, you can take the book have his joy. For more and especially as a friend of themed discussion, as you know from the previous games of the Deus Ex series, I do not really recommend the book.
