Have you ever had a dream one night and woken up the next morning to find it being advertised to you on your mobile phone? Did it make you wonder if technology can tap into your dreams? Would you trust someone with your dreams?
Set in a tech infused future, award winning American Author, Ken Liu, shares the language and intrusiveness of advanced technology in the hands of power driven princes and money hungry thugs in this new page turner released 2025. Advanced A.I surveillance technology, clever bots, dream-weaving, hacking, human trafficking, and tech farms are all themes in this book following a hacker named Julia Z who’s old school hacking skills are needed to help find a missing person with the key to expose dreams.
As someone who has studied dreamwork and the subconscious mind, the fantasy presented in this novel intrigued me as I can see this as very plausible version of reality. VR goggles and collective dream networks all connected to “the cloud”. Ken Liu’s style of writing makes it easy to imagine by highlighting the exisiting fears society has of todays technologies and the crime world in connection with our curiosity to make technology give us more access to ourselves and others.
Ken Liu has written over a dozen books among well known titles The Legends of Luke Skywalker (Star Wars Novel); The Grace of Kings (Epic Fantasy Novel) & The Paper Menagerie (Short Story).
ALL THAT WE SEE OR SEEM is his most recent novel inspired by a futuristic perspective with the familiar in-depth writing style.
I would recommend this award nominated science-fiction crime-thriller novel to the conspiracy or tech appreciator that understands how this story could play out in real life (if its not already). Stay off the grid by enjoying a slower suspense as you flick through the chapters like a TV series and learn technological language you can take into the future.
