Product Description

Product Description

I remember but it is failing. I have strived to erase myself before I go. For as long as I remember Her, She can wait for me. For as long as I am remembered, I will have to wait.

Erasure’s secretive narrator leads us across cities, continents and decades, racing to grasp at the weakening threads that link to Her. Steps traced, data hacked, privacy shattered – life and death in the cloud. But what becomes of this digital cosmos of memories, part stolen, once we are gone? What powers does it hold?

Love and murder collide in this contemporary story that explores what might happen if the digital records of our lives linked us, not to our past, but to our future.

Independent author A.T.H. Webber delivers a striking debut novel in which the pervasive powers of the Internet provide a timely backdrop for a story of love and faith in the digital age.

Most interesting concept. Am halfway through the book and can't wait to finish it. It is well written and the story flows well. I noticed in brackets beside the title, erasure series. I do hope that it means more books on the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring! 11 Jun 2012
By KC
Format:Kindle Edition
A super, super read!. I was a bit concerned at 1st that this might be a bit of a guy read as I don't normally read this type of book, but something about the description caught my imagination. I'm very glad I trusted my instincts. It's inspired me to think about my online presence and how my data is used.. Do these groups really exist? Is this fact or fiction? It says it's a series-sign me up, I want to read more of this!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book blew my mind ... 7 Mar 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The concept of this book blew me away. The idea that a soul - or whatever it is that's left of us when we die - can get trapped in some 'digital cosmos,' had me fascinated. The doctrine of 'The Movement' is that leaving a digital footprint behind - a traceable stream of websites and chat-rooms visited, emails sent and online purchases - prevents a person being forgotten in time, thus leaving their soul tethered and unable to move on. Despite it being a work of fiction, the book made me really think about the thrall of the Internet, and my use of it.

We join our nameless narrator as he learns about 'The Movement' from his affected friend Bammer, whom he fittingly meets online, and whose background is soon revealed to be both tragic and shocking. Armed with the new and powerful knowledge, he seeks then to remove every digital trace of 'Her;' his lost love, and then himself, so that they might both ascend from the 'cloud' that would hold them. His journey is by no means an easy one, with deceit and twists that I for one never saw coming, and even the threat of torture.

Written in an easy-to-read, conversational style, singularly from the narrator's POV, the story is fast-paced. There is little in the way of drawn-out description and lyrical language for the sake of it, which is perfect here, allowing the book to be all about the compelling storyline. That said, the first and final chapters are written in an entirely different tone, bearing witness to the aging of the narrator, and the heartrending isolation of his life's work. The last few pages brought tears to my eyes.

I read this book in two sittings, turning the pages as quickly as I could. I only stumbled slightly over the references to technology - I don't even know if password-protected chat rooms and `VPN tunnels' are fact or fiction - but these moments somehow only added to the credibility of the plot, and increased my belief in it. And that's the beauty of this book; it makes you believe and really makes you wonder.

This is an exceptional debut, and one that I wholeheartedly recommend. I can't wait for the next book in the series! ...
