Review: An alternate future
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 25, 2014
The Realm and Sands authors have painted a grim future of super-internet (called the Beam), a North American Union that exists under a protective dome and a two party nanny state. It's scary easy to see how they extrapolated from today to their new world.After reading their "Write. Publish. Repeat" book, I decided to check out their work for myself. I was not disappointed.The story moves best when they are in a seamless flow of characters and technology. The last episode really dragged as they laid out some of the philosophical underpinnings to the world of the Beam. A necessary detour, but it tended to hold back the velocity of the story.Looking fwd to the next installment!
