ORA:CLE

Books

I’ve just finished ORA:CLE by Kevin O’Donnell Jr. It’s about the fourth time I’ve read it! It is an amazing book. Set in the far future, it involves a globally linked data network, the population of earth confined to indoors while the streets are re-forested to combat CO2 excesses, an invading race of aliens, brain implants, politics, and hacking! Some of the concepts in the book are way ahead of their time (the story was started in 1980).

Money-back guarantees don’t count for very much if you’re dead before you can cite them. Computer-linked expert Ale wants to survive 2188, but he still catches himself making the mistake of trusting electronic gadgetry…
Someone is out to get Ale, and he is sure he knows who…

Highly recommended, although it seems to be out of print.
