David Louis Edelman, author of the science fiction smash Infoquake, has now released the long-awaited sequel: MultiReal. Both books have received a ton of praise, even before being unleashed on the general public, and from my own reading of Infoquake, I would highly recommend you grab both books, if you haven’t already picked up the first.
Here’s some of what’s being said for MultiReal:
“Edelman brings fresh air to the technological thriller… MultiReal itself is firmly established as one of the most fascinating singularity technologies in years.”
Publishers Weekly
“A thoroughly-successful hybrid of Neuromancer and Wall Street, MultiReal is the kind of thought-experiment we need more of around here: rigorously backgrounded, tightly plotted, and built around one of the most intriguing neurotech conceits I’ve encountered in years.”
Peter Watts
“The Matrix meets Boston Legal… A true page-turner that I could not put down… The combination of extraordinary world building, compelling characters that grow on you in Jara and Natch, legal intrigue, political maneuverings and fast action made MultiReal an even more entertaining book for me than Infoquake, which I loved too.”
Fantasy Book Critic
And if that doesn’t convince you, then let the writing speak for itself. You can read the first 8 chapters here. How can you miss out on a story about a future where software runs the human body, and we’ve just been given access to a program that lets us predict millions of possible futures for any event? Plus industrial espionage, some truly insane characters, and plenty of plot twists to keep you guessing. Enjoy the ride.
I see that smile.
