So if you want to eat and you want to drink, well, you have to pay these two companies money - and if a country doesn't, well. Another company owns all water because the non-harmful chemical by-product they created leaked into all water, and it can't be filtered out.
Why? Well, for example, one company who works in genetic modification owns all food in the world, because due to cross-pollination and cross-breeding, their genetic work is in all living things. The world is in control of businesses, and the governments of the world are in their pockets. Everyday life for people is pretty much the same as it is now, it's the way things are run at the very top that's different. It's set in the not-too-distant future, where technology has advanced and it's not exactly the governments that rule. It's hard to describe what this book is I'd say it was a YA dystopian novel, but one that is very different from the ones we read a lot of lately. Surely it’s going to be very complicated and I’m going to get completely lost? Actually, not at all! It's absolutely amazing! If, like me, you read the above description of the book and automatically think it's going to be quite techy and possibly confusing, stop! I was intrigued when I first heard about this book, but not entirely sure if I would like it. But what happens when you start to question the rules?įast-paced and futuristic, INSIGNIA, the first of a trilogy, asks significant questions about the use of technology and the value of human life. Equipped with a new computer chip in his brain, it looks like Tom might actually become somebody. Tom Raines is suddenly recruited into the US Army to train as a virtual reality Combatant to see if he is good enough to help fight World War Three. And what if the Government's secret weapon was you? Kincaid (ARC) - What if playing computer games could save the world.
