Simon Ing's newest, a chilling literary dystopia for readers who love Iain Banks
and J.G. Ballard Augmented Reality uses computing power to overlay a digital im
agined reality over the real world. Whether it be ads or imagined buildings and
imagined people, with Augmented Reality the world is no longer as it appears to
you, it is as it is imagined by someone else. Two friends are working at the cut
ting edge of this technology, and when they are offered backing to make it into
the next global entertainment, they realize that wolves hunt in this imagined wo
rld. And the wolves might be them. A story about technology becomes a personal q
uest into a changed world and the pursuit of a secret from the past. This is no
dry analysis of how a technology might change us, it is a terrifying thriller, a
picture of a dark tomorrow that is just around the corner.
