Is someone or something controlling Lucy from her computer screen? Is it intentionally distracting her from her work and keeping her locked in a perpetual cycle of cat videos and social media feeds? Maybe, but then again, maybe she is just like the rest of us, a busy professional juggling a lot of things to do.
Lucy Grieves is a mid-level public servant with a very average life. But that average life is threatened when Lucy's boss comes up with a strange theory that their attentions are being hijacked and used against them.
Now, Lucy has to choose between, friendship, her own sanity and hanging on to her very average existence.
This book is the first in the technophobe trilogy. A short read that is sure to leave you on the edge of your seat and questioning where the story starts and real life finishes.
A great read. I have sat at work staring at my computer and watching the others in the office doing the same. There were no computers when I started work but now everyone spends most of their work time at them. What are we all doing, is it productive or are we all being manipulated, programmed ourselves to behave in particular ways? Are our phones also being used to make us do things we wouldn't do naturally? Having read this book and watched other people's behaviour I am not sure of the answer. This book will make everyone who reads it think, if it is not already too late.
A solid short read from a new author in the science fiction space. Presents some interesting ideas and makes you wonder about the world's addiction to techology. Sets up an interetsing start to the trilogy.
