Description:
|
'Fusion' is being touted as a revolutionary spyware that can track anyone, anywhere, anytime. All that tech entrepreneur Cy Baxter and the CIA need to do is prove it actually works, and with a $3 million incentive, ten lucky people have the chance to challenge its efficacy by 'disappearing' for thirty days. Librarian Kaitlyn Day is an unlikely participant, but there is more to Kaitlyn than meets the eye, as Cy will soon discover... Complex and engaging, this is a thriller like no other with its technological cat and mouse chase, its political undertones and its thought-provoking focus on surveillance and intelligence.

Exceptional and clever and well-written - should be compulsory for secondary school education. |

An enjoyable read, and a newly informed discussion about just how much our privacy has been invaded - and the fear of in whose hands and for what purposes the collected data could be used. Very thought-provoking! |

Enjoyed storyline and short chapters. Will be a good movie when it comes out. The ending lends itself to a sequel, a bit unsatisfactory as it is. You need to persevere to get used to the writing style. One person in our group really loved it. |
