The intensely thought-provoking science fiction novel, Conscious, is set a year or three into the future. The ÔInternet of EverythingÕ is making the world a more connected place than ever before. Work, play, and everything else besides, are becoming increasingly automated É and thatÕs where the problem starts! Because something odd is happening: ÔthingsÕ are beginning to misbehave and no-one can work out why. What starts as an amusing mystery quickly becomes very dangerous indeed.
A ragged bunch of academics, scientists and philosophers are on the case Ð and may know the answer. But now they have to convince people that their crazy explanation is true. And thatÕs only the start. Against a backdrop of a world suddenly beginning to fall apart, theyÕre in a race against time to get someone to do anything about it. And not everyone is on their side!
After a career of scientific publication, this is VicÕs first fictional work.
