"My name is Thomas Zigler. I can tell you little about your future. All I can tell you is the following : 18 December 2010, a scientific catastrophe was triggered. The various experiments on nanotechnology have produced the same result. The nanovirus have spread faster than the worst flu epidemic and we quickly found with bodies devoured and lost. The human condition is different today. Welcome to the Eastern Zone.
is my home. I have always lived here before the big day And I stayed. The authorities quickly built a wall ... for our protection so it seems. I think not much, I just do my job. I steal people's memories that I will be designated. And I deliver to my sponsors. It's simple and well paid. And it's even easier with the various implants that replace our bodies devoured by the virus.
A simple life ... Finally ... Until I saw this mission ... or I thought I saw ... a human without implants. Full ... be spared by the virus. Is this really possible? ... Anyway, those are my heels seem to take it seriously. "
After masterfully led his thrillers, Marin Ledun wanted something new. As a reader, I am always for. But (yes there is a but ...) we must be careful. It's not so easy to change gender predilection. Sometimes the fall is painful.
Here he brings us a novel of advance in the line of Philip K. Dick. We find this spirit of paranoia where everyone seems to watch you and watch you. Paranoia helped by technological advances. But Marino will add his personal touch: commercialism and aggressive marketing. It plunges us into a world believable and not so distant from us. A city where advertising is customized to the person who will receive it. But would not this what happens on the internet today? ... When I tell you it is not so far.
And we Marino lays mainly a novel in which suspense is king. Written in first person, we dive head first into the life of Thomas Zigler. It is simply part of life post-nanoaccident. He did his job that's all. And then, an event made him rethink his life and that of his fellow citizens. By this simple dramatic device, the author manages to make us think about our current situation. So
Ledun Marino has succeeded brilliantly. And you're hungry to play another shift register Marino.
