Eclectic Worlds Where Technology and Ideology Clash

Good fiction books have a wonderful ability to transfer us to unique worlds. What is even more interesting is that although many people may read the same book, we all experience it differently based on our experiences. A combination of technology and ideology in thrillers creates a mesmerizing environment; it is the clash between two completely different phenomena that force each other to shine even brighter together. That is why they are so intriguing and addictive.

Here’s a list of 3 books to dig into worlds where technology and ideology collide to help us evaluate their impacts on our lives.

Double Blind: The Icelandic Manuscript Murders by Sara Winokur

Geneticist Brynja Pálsdóttir mines the country’s controversial DNA database to crack the country’s toughest cases, the disappearance of her young brother two decades ago.

Along with her fiancé Ari Ketilsson, the prime minister, and her quirky childhood friend Stína, she deciphers the clues while trying in vain to suppress the visual auras that threaten her career as a forensic scientist.

Angels in The Mist by Ryan Southwick

Anne Perrin is resigned to a life driven by adolescent trauma: a strict routine, no socializing (outside of the safety of her waitressing job), and no romantic relationships. When her cautious lifestyle lets the perfect partner slip through her fingers, Anne vows she won’t let it happen again and ventures into San Francisco to find happiness.

Her first night out in a decade becomes a nightmare when her date turns on her with sadistic intent. His nefarious plans for Anne are unexpectedly interrupted by a mysterious savior, Charlie. Smart, compassionate, and charming, Charlie is exactly the partner Anne has been looking for. And best of all, he likes her too.

Things go well between her and Charlie until an assailant with unexpected strength plunges Anne into a world she didn’t know existed — nor could have imagined. It’s where super-science and an eclectic group of extraordinary individuals may be the solution to Anne’s lifelong loneliness … and humanity’s only hope against an ancient threat. Angels in the Mist is now available on Amazon.
