John Christopher: Bad Dream

An awesome book, one of John Christophers latest from 2003, in which Britain and the European Union are dealing with the strange threats that new technology brings to age old notions of freedom, humanity, et al. Once again Samuel Youd displays his craft at psychology: the characters are incredibly well written. He has a penchant for the real life versions of inner narrative that are amazing. In part this book is interesting because, in comparison with some of his much earlier books such as the Guardian, it shows how, even buried amongst all the technobabble and rapid changes in our tool-making landscape, similar, older, biological stories still seem to be running the show behind the show. A definate library addition. – reviewed by virtual being
