This is much more fast-paced than the previous book and I was caught up in the intricate plot.

I was imagining Joseph Millson (who voiced Eric Blair/George Orwell in the four-part The Real George Orwell radio drama on BBC Radio 4) speaking Eric Blair's words. Eric Blair made some great observations, but the call to action is weak...

This book is sobering, especially in light of global crises. It's also brimming with confidence regarding data-intensive computing for all fields. Not sure if caution should rather be exercised.

I'm not very much into time travel tales, but this one is terrifying, riveting and irresistible. Worth a read for the chills and the chance to reflect on racial issues.

Fantastic read.

This abridged version feels complex, like Richmal Crompton's “William” stories.
