Product Description

Product Description

New World Technology promised to remake the world through digital evolution. Having already revolutionized the way people live and work with computer implant technology and personal holographic assistants, New World Technology’s teleportation devices were almost universally embraced, eliminating the tyranny of distance.

But when Jason Smith — co-founder of New World Technology — discovers the dark underside to his company’s technology, he realizes he must fight everything he has ever worked to create or risk being remembered as the man who enslaved humanity.

Set in the near future, d.evolution fast forwards some of the technologies we use today and presents a time where it is commonplace for people to have neural implants and continually interact with artificial intelligence on a personal level.

The story engages with some of the ideas George Orwell first put forward in Nineteen Eighty-Four and updates the technology that Big Brother uses to control the people. In d.evolution, Big Brother isn’t just watching you, Big Brother is inside your head.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and quite fun 5 Feb 2013
By Combat Wombat TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Well presented on the Kindle for format, proofing and editing.

I liked the concept of d.me and d.train. I loved the brash, crash, thrash deconstruction of huge ethical debates on can we, should we, would we. Some of the throw away lines and thoughts in here are so finger licking delicious it's a crime they are thrown away.

And then we come to execution. It's the only reason it's not a 5* rush and buy. It's written by someone who has seen way too many movies. Whose minds eye is a silver screen and a Dolby soundtrack. It's almost written as the screenplay to the next block buster. Go away! My imagination outstrips your puny special effects. Write to excite my imagination, not to the capabilities of the current CGI.
As it is I can click Matrix, Minority, endless films into the sets this book inhabits. It's not fair! It deserved more room and to stand alone :( I really loved it, and regret this one aspect :( CW.

4.0 out of 5 stars interesting story 9 Sep 2012
By A. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm on the fence between giving this three and four stars. On the up side, I found the story and plot compelling. The relationship between the Jason and Biff, his d.me, was really interesting and well worked out. On the other hand, the human characters seemed to lack depth, with many of them sounding just like vehicles for the ideas, exchanged in dialog. I didn't get a sense of them as real people, especially Charlie who came across as too evil to have been anyone's best friend. My other big problem was that Jason usually didn't come across as very smart, certainly not smart enough to have invented all the technology he's credited with. Still, it was an interesting read, and explored some cool ideas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just the right mix of humor, technology and philosophical questions 16 May 2012
By mishaone - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really liked this book. While the themes are familiar ones in science fiction, the treatment is really original and, as always, it is worth the price of the book just to read about the technology Lee Carlon comes up with for his fictional universe. To prevent spoiling anything (and talking in any detail about the plot would result in spoilers and revealed plot twists), I'd just say that this is a thought provoking book about identity and circumstances and an extremely easy and enjoyable read.

In my opinion, if you are new to Lee Carlon's work, this book is the best one to dive into as an introduction to his writing style. If you are a fan of science fiction, this book is a humorous, engaging and fast paced read and will not disappoint. Definitely recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read 17 Mar 2013
By kattwmn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A new twist on a dystopian sci-fi. Good story telling, although the characters could use more development and at times the lead character in particular has actions & reactions that don't seem plausible (it's like he's numb to human emotion). I don't write long spoiler book report reviews -- wouldn't you rather just read the book yourself than read a review?

Side note: I like the cover art.
