Effacement by Hieronymus Hawkes – Review by Kerry Carr

Effacement by Hieronymus Hawkes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really good book. It was gripping and a real page tuner but at the same time really quite scary. With today’s society and modern technology you can actually imagine a world like this where people all have chips in their head that controls everything from turning on their TV, speaking to people without actually talking and even being able to administer medication to themselves. The chip also is a recording device that records a person’s actions 24/7, 365 days.

So what happens when the chips start to fail? When people start dying with these chips it’s Cole job to find out why. Is it something to do with someone messing with the chips so that Coles company gets bad reputation or is it simply a bad batch of patches.

Cole thinks he’s found a link, however his life is turned upside down when he is drugged and his own chip removed. Now alone with no aid in this technological world Cole needs to learn who he can and can’t trust as well as learning to live and face the reality of real life not a virtual one.
While on his journey to find out and remember what happened to him it is also a race against time. Can he figure everything out or will he be silenced by the people trying to destroy everything Cole and the Company have created.
