Book Overview

New York Times bestselling author Daniel Suarez imagines a chilling future where technological advances are held hostage by the government in this thriller that perfectly blends "nail-biting suspense with accessible science" ( Publishers Weekly ). Physicist Jon Grady and his team have discovered a device that can reflect gravity--a triumph that will revolutionize the field of physics and change the future. But instead of acclaim, Grady's lab is locked down by a covert organization known as the Bureau of Technology Control. The bureau's mission: suppress the truth of sudden technological progress and prevent the social upheaval it would trigger. Because the future is already here. And it's rewards are only for a select few. When Grady refuses to join the BTC, he's thrown into a nightmarish high-tech prison housing other doomed rebel intellects. Now, as the only hope to usher humanity out of its artificial dark age, Grady and his fellow prisoners must try to expose the secrets of an unimaginable enemy--one that wields a technological advantage half a century in the making.

Customer Reviews

Unique, Fantastical and Amazing

This is another great offering by Suarez, who is one of the most creative and futuristic writers today. The middle part of the book, which depicts a futuristic prison is simply breathtaking. Perhaps less convincing is the rather fantastical ending, however if you can suspend your disbelief for awhile, it is quite enjoyable.
