Check out the interview with the author
In this futuristic apocalyptic tale, war is raging both in real life and in cyberspace. Online communities have formed divisive factions which recruit people jaded by the vagaries of western living. These factions are in violent conflict with each other to garner territory in a society increasingly ruled by corrupt algorithms seeking to control minds with biased information through online feeds. The internet has become a dangerous weapon, a weapon which is gradually taking over the world.

Interview with author Luise Noring
Going Places, Somewhere and Nowhere” marked my debut as an author. Since then, I have written four subsequent books, three of which are currently in the publishing pipeline.
The initial book posed unique challenges typical of a first-time author. Originally, I hadn’t set out to write a book; instead, I crafted a collection of vignettes or short stories drawn from personal experiences and imagination.
Embark on a riveting journey through a world ravaged by a third world war in “Going Places, Somewhere and Nowhere.”
The war that rages in cyberspace has spilled over into the real world, forming divisive factions that are in violent conflict with each other. Amid this chaos, a mother and her teenage twin daughters travel across the world in search of a safe haven. But they must fight against corrupt algorithms and online communities that seek to control minds through biased information.
As they traverse from Europe to South America, North America, and Asia, the women encounter challenges that force them to make tough choices. The book’s cinematic, adventurous quality paints a vivid image of a world emerging from war, resembling early hunter-gatherer societies. But even amidst the destruction, some factions slowly evolve into more systemic and structured societies aided by technology.
Through memories and people from her life pre-dating the war, the narrator’s character is fleshed out and her journey becomes more poignant. “Going Places, Somewhere and Nowhere” is a character-driven fiction that showcases the resilience of good people in the face of catastrophic events.

THE FIRST TRENCH OF THE JOURNEY...
“…goes from northern Europe down through Germany and across the North Sea to Scotland and Oban. From there, it continues down through what was formerly known as the UK and onwards to the Isle of Wight.”
This book takes you on a roller-coaster of a journey. Amidst the Third World War, a mother and her two daughters navigate a new world of persistent and sporadic fighting. The pace, energy and suspense of this book makes it a real page-turner. I highly recommend it for anyone intrigued and puzzled about the world we live in.
This fascinating book can be read at so many different levels. Firstly, it is a highly personal story of the relationship between mother and her teenage daughters, their lives and flight. This story is action filled and thrilling. It involves a global travel with vivid imageries and deep cultural insights. Secondly, the story is about the clash between nature and technology. Nature survives and flourishes in the absence of humanity. Technology is represented by humans and our overpowering need to accumulate power and wealth.
Luise Noring imagines a global future that is dystopian, disturbing and utterly believable. Her description of warring factions that emerge from online communities and transcend national borders may be where the world heads. A radically distinctive vision of a Third World War and the personal courage it will require to survive.
Enter into a post-apocalyptic war-torn world in which national borders have given way to “factions” based upon online communities of the likeminded. Join a mother and her teenage daughters as they navigate the globe, taking in the devastated and dangerous human landscape. In the world of factions and factioneers, nothing is more important than self-reliance and pure nerve. The women find nourishment in little more than their love for each other and their faith in the alliances they have formed. Never knowing if they’ll survive to see another sunrise, each day demands that they dig deep so that another step toward the future can be taken. And although they have no idea what this future will look like, hope continues to draw them forward despite the nearly impossible circumstances.
Well written and plot driven story about a new world order that is dominated by algorithms that have spun out of human control. The book details a highly realistic future in which the online universe permeates humanity and its warring factions. Yet, the story is also a tale of how nature takes over and how human relations persist. This is a highly recommended read that will leave you wanting for more. When does the sequel come out?
It is about social media gone rampant! This book shares the dark flipside of the lives we live today, where much of our focus, time and energy is directed towards social media. The book is an eerie reminder of where we are heading and what the future might look like. In some ways, it is a window to a world not so far away and where, despite everything, love and resilience persist.
What an adventure! This book takes you on an incredible journey composed by a series of highly intriguing “short stories” that transcend time and place. Each story shares new insights and deeply reflective thinking of our lives, the world we live in, and how this world can evolve. This is a ten out of ten!
This was an exciting and fast read. However, it left me in deep thought. Going Places, Somewhere and Nowhere paints a daunting future that seems totally credible in this day and age. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in action adventure combined with a poignant observation of where we are all heading.

”Going Places, Somewhere and Nowhere” is a captivating page-turner from start to finish. Noring’s imaginative portrayal of a factioned world is both vivid and thought-provoking. The well-developed characters add depth to the narrative, and the book’s title and cover art perfectly capture its essence. Luise Noring has crafted a truly unique tale—definitely worth picking up without hesitation!
I love discovering fresh and compelling narratives, and Luise Noring’s “Going Places, Somewhere and Nowhere” is no exception. Set in a world devastated by a war between Europe and North America, the story explores how entire cities have been erased, giving rise to new, post-apocalyptic urban centers. In this society, the idea of traditional nation-states is obsolete.
Noring’s book is a gripping, fast-paced read that doesn’t give you a moment to breathe. The author’s clear, engaging writing style makes it easy to get lost in this dystopian world, leaving reality behind. Every chapter kept me hooked, and the fluid narrative made for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
….The story’s ending is both poignant and surprising, packed with emotional depth and unexpected twists. I was captivated from start to finish, unable to put the book down. The author has skillfully crafted complex, relatable characters, especially the bond between the mother and her daughters. This was my first encounter with Luise Noring’s writing, and I’m excited to explore more of her work in the future.
