I cannot stop the story from spinning in my mind still. I have been stewing over this read for the past hour or so. I love her storytelling. Her descriptions make you feel like you are truly there and can nearly feel the breeze blowing off the lake into your window... or her writing would make you think you can. I cannot get enough of this writer. I have read Never Knowing and now this one, Still Missing and I am pre-ordering her next book due out in June. I couldn't put this book down. I just love these thrillers.

David Cronenberg’s take on the future of video games is a highly unique and original piece of storytelling and could in some ways be a companion piece to his earlier ‘Videodrome’ tackling similar themes of the body and its relationship with technology. Cronenberg’s script frequently pulls the rug out from under you as he blurs the lines between reality and game. The use of technology born out of reality such as the bone gun and bio ports also means even 20 years later the film hasn’t really dated. A thoroughly entertaining slice of cerebral sci-fi from the master of weird.‬
