Imagine a world where enhanced humans are employed by people who’ve paid for and own their enhancements, where a debugger has an implant connecting him to world-wide technology, and where mental shocks ensure the servant/slave’s obedience. A Star Curiously Singing invites readers into a strange future world, where technology has grown, humanity has changed, and one faith has survived all the wars to reign supreme. Combining intriguing science with cool future history and religious mystery, A Star Curiously Singing is cyber-punk with heart, and possibly soul… inviting readers to ponder maybe the soul within man and machine. It’s a fascinating mystery, cleverly constructed, with fierce dilemma compounding into a very cool read. Disclosure: I got it on a deal and I love it. An outstanding story based in a universe where class subjugation is enforced by the Masters by using chip surgically implanted in the head of the working class at a tender age of ten. The society has come together after many wars and is justified by religious hierarchy loosely based on Islam. The working class (debuggers) have an ability to communicate using their implanted chips and access all data that is accumulated defining nano technology, robotics and other smart technology they exist to maintain. An engaging social and physical structure exists that insures the debuggers are relegated to second class citizenship existing only to serve the ruling class (Abduls) who wield the pain inducing chip controllers to insure the debuggers remain subservient and obedient. As in most cases where an imbalance of power exists, the Masters use of the pain chip is frequently abusive and capricious. Change is introduced when a intergalactic star ship receives a singing message from a distant star which reprograms humans and robots. The participates an opportunity for two debuggers to find each other, explore the source of these strange communications from the stars and completely through off their yokes. The worm turns and society will have some bumps to overcome before humanity finds a religious balance. This is a generous creation of a compelling universe where the underdog has a chance to overcome over whelming odds to find true freedom and humanity. The imaginative scenery and edge of chair suspense keeps this a real page turner! A Kendle e'book the is well worth the low price. I'll be looking for additional Kerry Nietz books to keep me entertained. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys science fiction, ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
