An anonymous reader writes "A new singularity-themed SF novel by British author Gruff Davies, also comes with up to a £1m cash prize for readers who can solve the puzzles it contains. The book, squarely aimed at tech geeks and unashamedly high-IQ in its content, is a fast-paced thriller with real science behind it, and a fascinating predictions about the state of technology in a near-singularity time period, just 25 years from now. The novel has yet to be officially launched but is getting rave pre-launch reviews from privileged beat readers.
Here's the blurb:
"When a pregnant stranger, Skyler, is dumped on his doorstep with a sinister note, Steel finds himself in a race to restore her memory before they are both killed by an assassin with a frightening gift. What is Skyler's connection to his past, and how much longer can Steel protect the world against the secret that he's guarded for decades?
Highly original, witty and terrifying in equal measure, The Looking Glass Club is a fast-paced thriller that grips from page one and won't let go. Crammed with big ideas, and written with boundless imagination, this thought-provoking novel will delight geeks and consume intelligent readers everywhere."
