How can a book with a recommendation from the authors mum on the front cover be anything but good? Strobes début novel hits the ball out of the park. In this technology driven revolution world we live in. Driven by social media and the desire to be connected at all time the author, with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek, takes aim and fires an intelligent and insightful satirical broadside at the world today and what it might be.The story is set in the distant future were the American internet company Furtl which has integrated itself into every aspect of Americans life is starting to lose the battle against the Chinese alternative Holospace machines. Without giving the stories away let’s just say this is a story of private business taking over the country by using politicians as their puppets. The few control the masses through fear thus increasing their profits . It is a story of one man trying to make amends and give power back to the people.As a techno-freak I had a big grin on my face through most of this book. There is one frightening aspect of this book, and that is the story is not that much  a stretch of the imagination. I believe the author has given birth to a new genre, Dystopian Political Satire.
