:: Reviews ::
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cracking Read : I would recommend this if you like good dark sci-fi.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A great story, couldn't put it down : I really enjoyed this book. It's a real Clockwork Orange/1984 kind of story which I think is more relevant now than ever. The pace is excellent- it really zips along and keeps you turning pages...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A brilliant debut : Mark Rodseth shows great promise with his chilling dystopian vision, I found it unputdownable and particularly am impressed by his brave cliffhanger ending and believable characters.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Enthralling and beautiful prose! 'The Singularity' is an intriguing book built around a world of Science Fiction, but set in the very tangible context of a London with Hummer cars, Pink Floyd and stone-washed jeans. The characters are equally tangible; each created through authentic dialogue and sensitive description.
:: Professor Peter Stalk ::
This is a time where the world is ruled by a mighty Corporation, uCorp. This is a world where citizens are monitored and profiled through mandated status updates. This is a society addicted to technology - a society who have sacrificed their privacy and freedom for convenience and security. These are the three principles that contain the human spirit: Transparency. Identity. Security.
And those that stray will face the horror of Re-Socialisation. I am Peter Stalk, a scientist responsible for the uCorp systems which monitor status updates, interpret their emotion and look for anomalies – or what uCorp call Paradox Alerts. I am going to make amends for my crimes against humanity. This is my story.
The Singularity is a harrowing story of a brilliant scientist who turns against uCorp and joins The Resistance to destroy them from the inside. In his journey, he uncovers a disturbing truth about the corporation which chaperones humanity. This story contains profanity and scenes of a violent and sexual nature.
