When the declining oil town she lives in is purchased by a wealthy, powerful family, she is sought out to protect the young successor to the company’s fortune. It makes the main character, named Hwa, a special commodity. As in any environment, being rare brings opportunity. It’s so pervasive that it is the rare individual who does not have an electronic, connected implant of some sort. For my first selection, I chose to read Company Town.Ĭompany Town is an interesting view of the near future where human augmentation has become pervasive. Since her writing falls squarely into my near-term science fiction interest, adding one of her books to my list was an easy decision.
Her books Company Town and vN appeared repeatedly in my Amazon recommendations and through my other book recommendation sources.
One of the new authors on my reading list last year was Madeline Ashby. It keeps my reading fresh, keeps me from falling into a rut, and best of all, I usually discover an author or two each year that I want to get more familiar with. Each year, I like to put books by authors I haven’t read on my reading list.
