The Terminal Experiment is a mind-uploading murder mystery that revolves around the drama of scientist Peter Hobson's personal life. Though the science is dated, I thought the central speculative ideas of the story--the proof of existence of a soul and the ability to electronically copy human minds--were really fun. I would have liked for the story to involve more of how these discoveries could affect society, rather than moving into a predictable mystery plot. All the same, Peter Hobson, and his three electronic alter-egos were interestingly flawed central characters, and I also enjoyed many of the secondary characters that filled his world, such as his friend Sarkar, the AI specialist. Overall, I enjoyed The Terminal Experiment, and it has left me feeling more positive about trying out others of Sawyer's novels in the future!
