Seven Wizards and the Algorithmic Age

By Wesley Hind

Probably the least important book to be excreted from Earth's publishing systems since "How to look in a mirror: The definitive guide to deep reflection."

In the Algorithmic Age, technology is in charge. Your toaster demands firmware updates before acknowledging bread. Your heating system thinks you're a burglar. And your kettle won't boil water without first verifying your hydration levels. For Mrs. Pemberton, it was a fatal inconvenience. For the rest of the world, it's a slow-motion apocalypse.

The only thing holding civilization together is the Wizards-a handful of technologically-gifted individuals who can soothe, cajole, and command the neurotic machines that run the world. But they are burning out, their minds and bodies failing under the strain.

Now, a mysterious message offers a sliver of hope. They must abandon their posts, leaving the world to fend for itself, and embark on a quest for a ghost in the machine.

It's a journey that will force them to confront the very nature of consciousness, and to decide if humanity is worth saving from the mess it created.

If you liked the gentle humour of Tom Sharpe, Robert Rankin and the observations about life from Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett... then this book may suit your (obviously very wonderfully refined) tastes,
