The worlds created by this author are fascinating and scary at the same time. Teens don’t need to physically go to a party because they can show up virtually. For me, being older, the idea of having implants in your brain so that you can be wired into the Web is scary. Another scary aspect was the fact that your identity could be completely wiped out as if you never existed.
The story takes another turn when Milan, whose mother is a politician, goes missing during a solar storm. Milan finds himself in “The Other Side”. In this world there isn’t any technology. Things are done the old fashioned way. Milan finds his grandparents in this world. They had disappeared five years earlier. He will need to make a decision though. With his grandparents and all of his new friends in one world and his old friends an mother in the other world, he will have to decide where he really belongs.
For those people who just need a bit of romance to their stories, this book has that as well. Audrey and Milan’s mother both find romance. However, as you read this book the lines between reality and what is not real begin to blur. The books begs you to ask yourself if all this technology is for the best. Remember with technology, you have to have those who police it and we know that those people can take it too far. We are always talking about “Big Brother”. In a world like this, I’m afraid “Big Brother” would really take over. Then you must ask yourself the question. Is this really the best life?
Although this book is a science fiction book, the issues it brings up in each of the worlds are real world issues and something this book makes you think about. For me if a book can make me emotional or make me question things in society; mine, the future, or made-up, then the book has successfully done its job. Well done, Mars Dumont.
