"For anyone who would like a little substance alongside their escapism." Reader Review "I'm still thinking about it." Reader Review "I can't stop telling others to read it so I can discuss it with them!" Reader Review A billionaire with something to hide, and the artist who tries to resist him. It's 2048. Automation has stolen vast swathes of jobs, and the government pays everyone a no-strings-attached income, enough to live on, in order to keep the economy going. Society is split into those who can get jobs; engineers, managers, creatives, and those who cannot. Iva Brooksbank, Senior Investigator of the Enforcement Office, has made a career of taking down corporate moguls who flout the rules, and now she has Guy Strathclyde, CEO of Cybax Technologies, firmly in her sights. She's sure he's up to something, and races to find evidence that will stick, before her time runs out. Lulu Banks, a celebrated artist, uses her work to highlight the deep inequalities and injustices the world now faces, perpetuated, she thinks, by the relentless march of technology. But when she finds herself the object of Guy's affections, and becomes embroiled in Iva's investigation, Lulu must decide if she can trust Guy's word, his intentions, and his proclamations of love.
