A Novel of the Future.
Information is not always knowledge . . .
The year is 2023. The staphylococcus plague of 2006 has killed forty million people worldwide; the crash of 07 has left the global economy in tatters; and the 2018 assassination of President Emily Forrester has traumatised America. It is a new era, and yet most of the technology is easily recognisable to readers from the 20th Century. The Internet, for instance, is the main source of information, outpacing newspapers, television and books.
But Dr Gideon Wolfe, a professor of criminal psychology, is about to discover that technology, can be anything but reliable. He is handed a disk which contains the all-too-familiar video of the President's assassination but with one crucial difference: it shows that before the video was released it was altered with special effects. This information leads Gideon Wolfe on an electrifying journey through the criminal underworld of New York, Florida, and the jungles of Africa. It will be a quest to find true knowledge in an age when all information can be manipulated . . .
