A Positive Futurist Techno-Thriller. Denial is frequently funny, often irreverent, and occasionally indecent. The Singularity's Children Series: As the Third Millennium dawns, the world is slipping beyond human comprehension. Citizens are bewildered and angry; kept in line only by vast programs of computer-driven propaganda. Leaders are in Denial, clinging to the illusions of an idealised past, unable to move beyond corporate greed and political charade. But an emerging movement of techno-optimists can see post-scarcity utopias glittering on the horizon and have started building a collaborative future for all of Singularity's Children... Book One - Denial: Keith knows the 21st century is no place for a moral backbone. Not even a corporate expense account and the occasional synthetic liaison can air-gap him from the blood on his hands. With neural prosthetics giving voices to our animal cousins, Niato, the grandson of a Sushi chain billionaire, is recruited into Eco-Terrorism by a radicalized dolphin, beginning a cross-species partnership that might change the world. Stella lives above a brothel on a nomadic, floating tuna farm. Her young life is brutal and precarious, she needs to find a tribe before she is consumed by the jaded world around her. Denial is high-tech adventure set in a world of soulless algorithms, psychotic corporations, and floating ghettos. It is the first book in an epic story arc which takes the reader from a post-internet, post-collapse world, deep into a wildly post-human future. Brilliantly written. Toby Weston creates a stark believable alternate future. This is classic world-building; a fabric of plot and characters woven from threads of philosophy, metaphysics and futuristic technology. Editor's review . Denial, the first volume of Toby Weston's Singularity's Children series, delivers a razor-sharp view of Earth's future, a tomorrow-land as disturbing as it is utterly plausible. Clarion Review Subtle details, large cliffhangers, and a desire to see resolution with these strong characters makes flipping to the next book an easy choice. IndieReader
