Praise For Lack of a Better World:
The world building fits firmly into the milieu of the worn out scenes of China Melville and Paolo Bacigalupi, but there were moments of optimism and joy that could not be suppressed in the young intrepid characters. A great journey and a fun read that managed to make me feel optimistic about our dystopian future.
An amazing story of revolution and philosophy, set in an innovative world of AI, radical priests and a desire for change. Was amazing from start to finish and I struggled to put it down.
For Lack of a Better World follows a twisted journey through a dream-like city, governed by a fierce artificial intelligence.
While the AI god controls and speaks through personal radios held by every citizen, a rogue radio broadcast is picked up, challenging the authoritarian status quo.
Marin Halloway, a 17 year old farmer that works in the Meadow's orchards, is told of the rogue broadcast, triggering an adventure down a dark rabbit hole of secret worlds and forgotten dusty corners.
A dystopian journey awaits.
