SOLVED. Sci fi/brothers invent a device that can spy on anyone. Spoilers ahead. [s]

[Connie]

listened to this maybe 15 years ago. at first the device can only see what's happening so they kind of read lips. then they enhance it to grab sound as well as pictures. at the end, one of the brothers has died but was frozen and revived years later.

[Kris]

Connie, is this book for young adults (teens) or older adults?

Can you tell us more about the brothers - their ages, who are their parents, rich/poor, do they work for the government, etc.? Can you give examples of how they use this device?

What's the time period and location - country, region, big city/small town?

[Andy]

The Light of Other Days by Baxter and Clarke The Light of Other Days, perhaps?

[Connie]

Light of other days it is, thanks!

Was this expanded from a short story? I remember one with a similar theme. If not, I'll start a new thread for it.

You might be thinking of "I See You" by Damon Knight I See You

It's not "I See You", but a review there led me to do some more searching and I found the one I was thinking of. It's "E for Effort" by T.L. Sherred. Thanks for the help.

[Andy]

Glad you found your story - I'll have to look for that one.
