An utterly gripping science-fiction thriller for readers who adored Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, Kurt Vonnegut and Michael Crichton.
Question not only your reality and very existence, but the terrifying possible future of humankind as you explore what readers are calling an intricate and evocative sci-fi triumph, a feat of impossible imagination, and a complete science fiction masterpiece.
In the aftermath of The Chemical Wars, nature has reclaimed humanity's infrastructure. This world, lush with life - yet dangerously uninhabitable for mankind - houses the remaining population who ekes out an existence in quarantined cities anchored off the mainland.
David S. Sparks awakens into the chaos of this future world, unsure of his place in a reality wildly different from his fragmented memories. As the desire to retake the planet swells, so too does the question of how. Will the same mistakes be repeated? Can technology beat nature, or is it time for another approach? And what is David Sparks' role in it all? Dive into a wild, mind-bending journey as one man chases the ultimate question of self, discovering the truly illusive nature of reality.---------------------------------------------------------
Most, if not all of Aicher's stories feature characters and situations that inspire confusion, curiosity, exploration of the self, and exploration of reality. This one is no different, and it reaches new heights of tension and originality. - Peak Story Reviews
A thought-provoking, intellectual book about our environment, digitally obsessed society, and need for self-preservation, Aicher sneakily creates an ingenious modern day satire with David Sparks. - The Uncorked Librarian
... my mind was just blown and I need to talk about it with someone. - Micah Chaim Thomas, author The Little Demons Inside
