Description
2071: FICTION IS INVADING REALITY
(and not in a good way)
When professional hardass Lona Luminos takes a gentle working holiday, she’s not expecting to be haunted by an ancient, electronic evil. And she’s really not expecting murder.
Her job translating a set of ancient Celtic tales takes her deeper into the heart of the mystery. Everyone at this creepy Welsh college has dark secrets. Even Lona. And especially her synthetic pet wolf, Dodo.
Lona’s the Faith Police’s prime suspect – but will she be the next victim?
In a world of religion and surveillance, Lona and her friends must tread carefully in their quest to solve the crime, and prevent more mayhem.
Can they find the killer before something monstrous finds them?
Synthetic takes a darkly humorous look at religion and the magical quality of stories. It also questions what it means to be human in an increasingly digital world.
WHO WOULD LIKE THIS BOOK?
Fans of The Handmaids Tale or The Power will revel in this new version of a dystopian future. Anyone who enjoys books by Neil Gaiman, Philip K.Dick or Jasper Fforde will love the quirky satirical humour. And anyone who misses Torchwood will adore it.
