In the future, everything, even murders, will be recorded in an Archive that researchers can search for clues. This sounds like CCTV, which already exists, except its more of a virtual reality experience. Individuals, like John Dominic, who lost his wife, can relive moments with their loved ones in an endless loop.
All of the wiring for internet streaming is surgically implanted in their skulls, so no one needs a computer or device.
John Dominic is not only obsessed with his deceased wife. He's also obsessed with solving a cold case, Hannah Massey, a woman whose body he finds in the Archive.
Poetry, criticism, Adware, Internet streaming are all part of this eerie cyberworld.
Framed for a crime, Dominic is forced to switch doctors and treatment plans. Previously, he had been a substance abuse addict. He is referred to a new doctor, Dr. Reynolds, who may be hiding a shady past.
John Dominic has also been entrusted to find another woman who has disappeared from the Archive--the elusive Albion. Pursuing her will prove dangerous.
Soon to become a feature film, this exciting science fiction novel will please mystery fans and fans of Hugh Howey's Wool.
The Gone World is Tom Sweterlitsch's latest novel.
