Jump: Some kind of future

RightMind #3

by Ed Adams

In this sequel to An Unstable System, Matt and Juliette's experiments take them and their team from Geneva to Bodø, Norway, where Brant and Biotree seem to have infinite money to spend on research.

How much of the Cyclone experiment should be revealed?
Can its secret successor experiment be relied upon?
Can mysterious voices be trusted?
Who is running things?

This mind-bending novel bridges from the time of The Triangle and Christina Nott, through to the dystopia unleashed in Pulse and onward to Edge.

Pick this up, but don't try any of the experiments.

About the author

Ed Adams writes systems fiction—novels about control, alignment, and the structures that operate just beyond visibility. His work moves through technology, finance, and power, following characters who recognise patterns early, and understand the cost of them later.

Across his books, connections accumulate: names recur, organisations persist, and signals pass between stories in ways that are not always explained, but rarely accidental. Some readers refer to this as the “Adamsverse,” although the term suggests more stability than is present.

Within those systems, individuals still meet moments of calibration, misalignment, or brief alignment that carry their own charge. Not everything that matters is structural.

Each novel stands alone. None are entirely separate.

Readers can begin anywhere. The system does the rest.

He lives in the UK.

Reviews

[Govno Nichevo · Rating 1 out of 5]

I thought that this was a disappointing read. Unfortunately, I did not understand the point of this story. It had no conclusion, the pace seemed slow, and nothing really happened. I kept reading as I hoped to see what unfolded to help me get it. The book could also use another round of editing.
