marksutherland reviewed Gnomon by Nick Harkaway
Review of 'Gnomon' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I am Gnomon and so is my wife.
This book has everything: near future cyberpunk dystopian noir detective, surveillance states, choice architecture, participatory democracy, memory replay, Roman alchemy, the financial crisis, mmorpgs, identity modelling, universe breaking post human give minds, lots and lots of sharks and more.
It is also the foundational text of a mystic cult for the cyber era and worthy of study and contemplation.
Imagine Orwell rewrote Cloud Atlas with help from Philip K Dick and Robert Anton Wilson.
