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.
“Highly recommendable – A must-read!”
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?
“A Haunting Glimpse into Our Not-So-Distant Future of Love and Resilience”
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.
“An amazing adventure into a not too distant future”
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!
“What a read!”
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.
