Stephen Oram - Böcker

"A veritable head trip; yet rooted in a believable and sometimes visceral near-future." | Grey is a high performer with attitude. Aled is torn between his morals and his desires. They live in a world where those who believe in absolute truth are on a collision course with those who don't. Society is becoming dangerously polarised and despite a thread of history that binds Aled and Grey together they take opposite sides in the conflict; Grey is recruited by The Project and Aled is given custody of The Proof of Existence. | Against the backdrop of a failing society and experiments to find the link between quantum physics and a supreme being, the real question that unfolds is... | "Who chooses your reality?"

Imagine a world where your influence on social media determines your job, your home and your friends. A world without politicians, where the corporations run the country. | Set in a dystopian London, 'Fluence' is a story of aspiration and desperation and of power seen and unseen. Amber is young and ambitious. Martin is burnt out by years of struggling. She cheats to get what she wants while he barely clings on to what he has. | It's the week before the annual Pay Day when strata positions are decided by the algorithms. The social media feed is frenetic with people trying to boost their influence rating, while those above the strata and those who've opted out pursue their own manipulative goals. | To what extremes, and at what cost to their families, will Amber and Martin go to achieve the Fluence they desire?
