"What does it feel like to wake up in the Panopticon? It’s like
waking up for the first time ever. It’s like waking up with a
third eye." When Moremi connects her brain to the Panopticon, a
network which allows you to see inside the minds and dreams of
others, she believes that the technology will save her from
depression, loneliness and, eventually, death. That is until she
meets Orpheus. Orpheus was brought up in isolation by a
Neo-luddite father. He was raised to question everything, including
the government who plan to make the connection procedure
compulsory. They promise that connecting everyone to the
Panopticon will end human suffering and usher in a more perfect
world. But when Orpheus and Moremi uncover the dark side of the
technology, they find themselves on opposite sides of a radical
divide, between those who believe that the Panopticon will save
humanity, and those who will stop at nothing to destroy it. Deftly
weaving through strands of Greek mythology, Temi Oh poses timely
questions about technology, identity and the cost of progress. This
novel will be perfect for fans of Inception, and books by Dave
Eggars and Madeline Miller.  Praise for Temi Oh 'A
major new voice. Read Temi Oh today. Everybody will be
reading her tomorrow' Stephen Baxter, author of World Engines
'An ambitious 500-page coming-of-age blockbuster . .
.Oh is excellent at portraying the aching sense of
loss on a one-way trip to the stars' Guardian
'A tightly wound, emotional epic that asks
important questions . . . This novel is
a brilliant, beautiful debut. Reading it will
change your heart'Â Christian Kiefer, author
of Phantoms Â
