MY REVIEW
Imagine a chip implanted in your body that told you when to exercise, what to eat, and pin-pointed your whereabouts every single minute of the day. Then imagine a serial killer who is able to buck the system. DI Clive Lussac will need to go old school to investigate the murders.
DI Clive Lussac is a dinosaur. This new iMe technology is an invasion of privacy. Whatever happened to solving a case the hard way by good old-fashioned sleuthing? Whatever happened to having a drink or having a piece of chocolate anytime you wanted without the Ministry of Health and Well-Being doling out Freedom Units (FUs for short)? Now everyone’s daily life and habits are tracked by a surgical implant, but technology is not as infallible as the government thinks. There is a serial killer on the loose and Clive and his young partner DC Zoe Jordan have to hunt him down the old-school way.
Clive and Zoe are total opposites as partners, but they work well together with Clive’s experience and Zoe’s techno knowledge.
I enjoyed this fast-paced techno thriller with Head-Up Displays (HUDs), Freedom Units (FUs), and self-driving cars. In this world of CCTV and GPS tracking it’s a believable and frightening story for our future. Recommend highly!
