There were logical inconsistencies throughout the book. The characters were boring, predictable, and lacked depth and development. Story: The story had aliens, immortal beings, government conspiracies, dystopian technology, clones, and I could go on and on. Regardless of age or sex they all sounded the same. The narrator was boring, had no differentiation between characters.

The production itself wasn't great: there were times where the narrator repeated a sentence multiple times, I could hear the breathing and swallowing of the narrator, at the beginning of each chapter there was a 'news' bit where an anchorman basically gives the headline and during that there was this weird noise that made it hard to hear. If you're looking for a thrilling sci-fi adventure that beautifully mirrors current real-world issues and advancements then this is the book for you.” (Andrew Buckley, author, Hair in All the Wrong Places)ĭisclaimer: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. “Wymore weaves a fantastic tale while taking a good hard look at religion, politics, immortality, entertainment, and technological advancement. Then his father drops a few family secrets on him - secrets of treason and heresy, which put him in direct conflict with the reigning theocrat. A scholarship university athlete with an amazing girlfriend, his future couldn’t be brighter. Nobody cares, so long as they don’t turn off the wi-fi. A man takes over America and declares himself to be a god. Disease is decimating the human population. In other news, the world is under attack by aliens. Even the cars are self-driving, because nobody wants to pause the streaming feed.

Nobody cares what clothes they wear, because the rest of the world sees them as pirates, robots, or anything that suits their current media. We all see whatever we want, all the time. Through perfected augmented reality, the buildings and people blend seamlessly into whatever movie or video game is running. In the future, everybody wears computer glasses that scan the world and project whatever you want to see right in front of it.
