It's not everyday that you come across a book that takes what's happening in the world today, adds some contemplation to it, throws in some fiction and makes for a perfect story. "Glimpses of a Black OP" just happens to be one!The world today has every sort of information sorted and stored away for any reference or use. Today we are trying to challenge nature with the power of technology at out disposal. Now what if all of the information and the technology was in fact used to serve the interests of a powerful few? Sounds scary? Then hold on tight for this awesome story!The story follows an analyst working in the corporate world. But the story is just as much about the future of our society and our world as it is about him. "D", a disillusioned analyst, runs into signs that show what could be waiting for us in the near future. He is now dodging and running from attacks from all corners. His journey takes him through modern technology, ancient texts and theories, how those two connect, what could be the plans of those in power, and many other intricate things.With the ever-increasing policing in many countries and infringement on our civil rights, the story may not be too far from reality. But just that right mix of fact-based work and fiction is what makes this book click. The author has done a great job of envisioning a future world which is not too dramatic yet one that keeps the reader guessing and makes it all seem real.As someone who is into conspiracy theories, I really enjoyed reading this book. And frankly, at times I was left wondering "What if this really happens in the near future?!"A story of intrigue, a story of mystery, a little bit of fact and a little bit of fiction. This is one book you wouldn't want to miss!
