By that I mean that my editor and writer’s head shut down. I never thought about mechanics, except to enjoy how well the drama built and how expertly everything was rendered.

An infrared beacon (IR beacon) transmits a modulated light beam in the infrared spectrum, which can be identified easily and positively. A line of sight clear of obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver is essential. IR beacons have a number of applications in robotics and in Combat Identification (CID). Several characters had a hard time sharing their feelings…..but had plenty of feelings. For me — this running theme throughout is in itself worthy of discussion. A sonar beacon is an underwater device which transmits sonic or ultrasonic signals for the purpose of providing bearing information. The most common type is that of a rugged watertight sonar transmitter attached to a submarine and capable of operating independently of the electrical system of the boat. It can be used in cases of emergencies to guide salvage vessels to the location of a disabled submarine.

For example, the book's central theme—that everything is connected—gets rehashed repeatedly instead of being allowed to emerge organically through the story. Meanwhile, the actual connections that link characters and events in the story can feel contrived, veering too far into the mystical to be credible, with altogether too many references to past and present selves merging, radiant beams of light, fields of energy, and invisible threads weaving people together."
