With The Beam Platt and Tuant have created an incredible and sweeping world of what might be. Considering how much can be done with an iPad or a tablet and how connected to the Internet we are The Beam is not only highly conceivable but highly probable. And that right there is what makes good science fiction. That right there is what makes this a good story. But that isn't all The Beam has going for it, it is also a political thriller and a look at society and the world today through a slightly distorted lens. Also just like Yesterday's Gone there is a huge cast of characters that evoked a myriad of emotions and the way the authors weave their separate stories together as the story progresses is like watching a blanket being knitted. If you have read Yesterday's Gone or any of the authors other books you can't go wrong with this one, or if your looking for a fantastic Sci-fi story that you can believe could happen then I highly recommend The Beam.
