Denizen 43

Panopticon #3

by A.E. Currie

Denizen 43 is an action-packed, hard science fiction mystery set in the world of the Panopticon - where everything is observed and nothing is as it seems. If a denizen kills a human, is it murder? The death of a Moon colonist, seemingly at the hands of a robot worker, starts a series of events that could jeopardise all human society in space. In the harsh environment of an industrialising Moon, Lee Sands races to uncover what WorldGov is hiding before more people die. What are the secret experiments they are conducting on Moonbase Seven and why are they so desperate for Lee to go there? Could the denizens finally be waking up? Is this the beginning of true artificial intelligence? The Panopticon series is set in a highly realistic world of the near future, where humanity has taken a path we may yet walk. “The only series I've read that touches on every topic I care Artificial Intelligence, surveillance, climate change, individual vs state, space, programming, infosec” - Marco Abis Denizen 43 is a gripping science fiction thriller set in a high-surveillance future. It is both a standalone action novel and the third in a new the Panopticon. Praise for the Panopticon

About the author

Anne Currie has been an SF and Fantasy fan since she first saw Star Wars in 1977. She loves classic SF authors like Asimov, Van Vogt, Dick, Vonnegut, Heinlein, Herbert and, even, Doc Smith (his social views have dated, the others less so).

She studied Physics and interned on the Large Electron Positron collider at Cern in the 90's when the internet was first being invented. Since then, she has worked on all kinds of tech and startups.

These days she divides her time between London and North Essex and writes Science Fiction that really isn't that speculative.

Fabulous book

Really good read. The author certainly is no empty suit. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.
