A Welsh dystopian novel sounded intriguing, but alas no.
In the near future a coastal city in Wales, half-destroyed by a tsunami and rising sea levels, becomes cut off from the rest of the world. The city’s surviving inhabitants fall under the control of an organization using advanced sociological software, except for a couple of young rebels who win.
Does this makes much sense? Not to me - and unfortunately this amateurish and ill-conceived narrative is all that’s on offer. The result might do for a juvenile audience, if they were unusually undemanding, but my juvenile days are long over and it doesn't do for me.
