This Eden is a smart modern-day adventure reminiscent of both the
cyber noir novels of William Gibson and the golden age of espionage
fiction. 'An incredibly fast-paced literary thriller, tricksy &
crammed with ideas, beautifully written, occupying its own unique
territory somewhere between Graham Greene & William Gibson'
Kevin Power Ever felt like you were living in a dystopian tech
thriller? That's because you are... Michael is out of his depth.
The closest he ever came to working in tech was when he rode a
delivery bike for a food app in Vancouver. Yet when his coder
girlfriend dies, he is inexplicably headhunted by sinister tech
mogul Campbell Fess, who transplants him to Silicon Valley. There,
a reluctant female spy named Aoife lures him into the hands of
Towse, an enigmatic war-gamer, who tricks them both into joining
his quest to save the world, and reality itself, from the deadliest
weapon ever invented. Hunted by government agents and corporate
goons, manipulated at every turn by the philosophising Towse, Aoife
and Michael find themselves in an intercontinental chase which will
take them from California to New York, from the forests of Uganda
to Jerusalem, Gaza, Alexandria and Paris, and to a final showdown
with the truth in Aoife's native Ireland. Fast-moving, exhilarating
and tense, This Eden is both a classic spy novel and speculative
fiction for the here and the now. O'Loughlin adapts the propulsive
thriller form to create a sharp yet passionate account of a world
under mortal threat from cyber-warfare, feral money, runaway
technology, and a cynical onslaught on truth itself.
