'Who will you allow to control your mind? A young woman is forced into the Institute by the government and undergoes drastic experimentation. Slowly she loses her grip with reality and begins to forget her very self. A voice in her head begins to speak with her, a man that claims he can help her escape and reclaim the life she has lost ... but how can you trust someone who isn't even real?' Or Is He?
There is so little about myself that I can actually grasp - offer to perfect strangers as well as friends, passing faces, whether known or not ... as though in life the self is the greatest mystery, hard not to go ahead and allow it to bleed into fiction. For what good are facts, birth dates, without some sort of substance behind them? What good is being told something about someone - for without that experience of knowing that person - they cannot be understood?
I struggle with proclaiming what I am - a writer - without feeling as though I become fictional myself. Thus, you must determine what is real and what is the work of fiction.
Loved it! Immediate action and a great world was introduced - plays on connection to technology and individuality/free thinking. Especially this day in age this book is a good thought provoking one relating to intelligence and the greater good.
I enjoyed the story. I would have enjoyed it more if it had been proofread better. Then, I couldn't decide if it was on purpose to simulate a robot trying to sound human. A unique take on what freedom is worth.
