Book Review: Conundra (Panopticon Book 2) - A.E. Currie

· 3 comments · 150 words

Book cover.Another fun and frantic slice of near-future sci-fi from Anne Currie. This is the sequel to Utopia Five. A post-global-climate-catastrophe Britain, where augmented humans stalk the land and immersive technology allows for an effective panopticon.

Is it a snooper's paradise, or a sensible way to maintain order? There's a surprising amount of philosophy in here - although it does occasionally lapse into a Wikipedia-highlights of a famous philosopher. But, at 99p, who am I to complain? It would only dent my social-credit score.

It's all done with a air of pop-culture irreverence and a typically British tongue-in-cheek attitude.

A great holiday read for speculative fiction fans.

Verdict
Great
