Bag om Electric Goanna Dreams
Miguel Aguilar - Australian writers have an extraordinary ability to make stories like this one very entertaining. I liked this book very much. Melody - OMG! I loved this book. Artificial Intelligence was not a stretch to imagine! The scenery descriptions were so lifelike I felt like I'd seen it before! This book kept me on the edge of my seat with anticipation! Excellent story teller! I want more! 2018. Its coming. Imagine an Australia with DNA matched Identity Cards, secret Government Agencies and a large Secret Police force. What freedom? Unique Australian, futuristic, science fiction action-adventure, this compelling tale incorporates elements of Aboriginal Dreamtime stories interwoven with modern technology to create a new technomythology. Alan's brother Wade is mysteriously killed and their computer lab is taken by the Government for a nominal fee. Frightened for his life, Alan runs to his aboriginal friend, Jamie, in the Northern Territory and lives with the Tribe in peace for a few years until Secret Police come looking for him. Alan runs again. This time to Sydney. Meanwhile, Wade's daughter, Sidhe, an unwitting pawn of the Gov carries on her father's research and eventually has the first bio-organic implant inserted into her brain. Surfing the Web is as easy as closing your eyes - and its wireless. Add to this a mysterious and unofficial head of the various spy networks, Three, who needs a new body for his old mind and uses Artificially Intelligent computers to assist. There is also a very nasty Secret Police Chief with some odd personal habits.
