Summary

The first two books in the Singularity's Children series.

Book one - Denial

Tense, intelligent science fiction packed with ideas. 

Debt, wars, and inequality are pushing society toward collapse. It's a world desiccated by soulless algorithms, pacified beneath the battle suit's boot, and numbed by the bewitching voices of computational propaganda. 

Singularity's Children is vivid world-building. The desperate lives of its characters draw the listener into a terrifyingly familiar world only a butterfly flap away.

Book two - Disruption

It takes us deeper into an action-packed riot of haves and have-nots; a vivid alternate future filled with Buddhist commandos, stolen Femto-tech, AI sages, and quantum consciousness.

A decade after economic collapse sent the world’s governments toppling like dominoes, the corporations are back on top. Their AI farms have relieved society of the drudgery of work, leaving behind a broiling underclass precariat. The Forward governments pacify their rabbles with computer-generated titillation, while channeling legions of the desperate into overseas peacekeeping.

Subversive, fast-paced action. A provocative excursion into a near-future civilization struggling to survive the maelstrom of post-human forces its technology is unleashing.

Slight technical issues

The amazing Peter Kenny performs this book exceptionally well. There was a technical issue with the speed of the first few chapters. Too fast.

The book is a great introduction to Toby Weston. It reads like early Peter F Hamilton. Well reasoned plots and clear sympathetic characters. Some consideration of global issues and solutions without being preachy. Entertainment.
