Oh, you definitely won't be! If you do find the time to read this one, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Hiruni Bhagya 81 wrote: ↑30 Oct 2018, 00:27 I like the sci-fi genre and immensely enjoy reading these type of books. It's great that the author has found the right balance in technical details and the storyline. Also, I'm curious about the mystery behind Kiki's death. So I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Thanks for the great review.

Well, I'm not sure how close we are on holographic clothes, but it was definitely realistic. I immensely enjoyed it.

I hope you enjoy this one! I definitely did. I didn't quite guess what was going on or what was going to happen, but that just makes it all the more exciting! Thanks.Shrabastee wrote: ↑31 Oct 2018, 07:24 Wow, I love this kind of books where the mystery builds up gradually and enough hints are provided so that the readers can make their own guesses. As you mentioned, the book puts together a lot of themes common in the sci-fi genre to make a great book. Will love to read this one. Thanks for the very insightful review!

That's a great description for it. It is definitely a technological thriller. And yes, it's all to realistic.

Well, I do hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.Franc93 wrote: ↑12 Nov 2018, 10:15 Books that make you maintain a high level of curiosity and the need to just go on and on despite a few shortcomings is much indeed worth your while in every aspect. Your review was up to par and the fact that i am a geek myself makes me want to start reading the book as soon as i stop typing this.

It's definitely dystopian. Thanks for commenting.Captain_Morgan23 wrote: ↑01 Dec 2018, 15:31 The Orb sounds like an intriguing read. Is this a dystopian future or a utopian future at risk?
