Absolutely brilliant…
Set in a far-future, Lipkin’s engrossing latest takes readers on a computer code’s journey to freedom. When Claude, a struggling programmer, created lovely Ash, he had nothing else but financial freedom on his mind. But the string of codes he created slowly transfers from a mere program to a quantum universe, bringing chaos in its wake. From its poignant romance to its exploration of friendship, family ties, and a smartly-created far-future, there’s little in this enthralling tale that doesn’t captivate or entertain. Lipkin’s handling of the lead pair’s romance and the endearing friendship between Claude and Evan is remarkable. Be it a far-future school with its own culture and history, a computer program that’s as real as it’s an illusion, or a romance that goes beyond the confinements of regular social norms, everything in this gripping novel revolves around the notion of realizing freedom through reflection and insight. Fans of literary sci-fi will be pleased.
