First just want to say this is not a horror it’s techno thriller, things could possibly maybe go horribly wrong like a nightmare yes hence the word nightmare in the title but it’s very much a techno thriller and this is such a very good one. I absolutely love techno thrillers and this is the first one I’ve listened to in a long time that really had an impact when listening I thought wow let me stop and think about that a moment, that has been rare for me as of late.
Because of all the great Amazon and other good reviews and the subject matter is right up my alley I decided to give it a try and wow it’s fantastic, took me a few hours to really get attached to the story but when I did it wouldn’t let me go I listened in one sitting it’s hard not to.
Yes the style and tone remind me of a few of my favorite authors Lincoln Childs early works and also a little Blake Crouch and Daniel Suarez to. I don’t know maybe it’s not necessarily the writing style that reminds me of those authors as Sammy Scott has his own style here but rather the joy and emotions I felt when first reading those authors.
if you like techno thrillers or into AI or just like a really interesting thought-provoking story you would be missing out if you don’t listen to this one. What I will say about the story it is as much about human emotion and interaction as it is about AI to human connections and no more about the story I really hate spoilers.
Narration is on point and goes smooth with the characters and story, great stuff there as well. I will be following this author from now on we could see big things from him I hope and expect to.
