The book was primarily written from the POV of Paxton and Zinnia in alternating chapters. As every step and activity is tracked by watches worn by the civilians, every person became an employee in order to earn their quality of life. This dystopian novel leads the reader into a new way of living called the ‘Cloud’ which felt scarily close to the current climate as to how technology is becoming increasingly more integrated into our lives. But, beneath the sunny exterior lurks something far more sinister. Here’s my thoughts:Ĭloud is a company which likes to keep its secrets – and it guards them well…Ī near-future thriller set in an America addicted to consumerism gun violence, climate change and unemployment have ravaged the nation, and an online retail giant named Cloud reigns supreme.Ĭloud brands itself not just as an online storefront, but as a global saviour. This science fiction/dystopian grabbed my attention immediately and was getting a lot of praise from other like-minded readers. I was so pleased to have the opportunity to read something a little out of my norm.
