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&#8217;s little in this enthralling tale that doesn&#8217;t captivate or entertain. Lipkin\u2019s handling of the lead pair\u2019s 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\u2019s as real as it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<h2>The Influencer<\/h2>\n<h3>By R. T. W.
