My Review: I am constantly amazed at how far AR, augmented reality, has progressed in just the past few years. Seems like it has started popping up everywhere - apps on pizza boxes to movie posters. The Artificial Mirage takes it even farther and creates a world where AR has taken over everyone's lives. The story opens with Charlie, wrongfully accused and stripped of everything he has ever worked for. As with many sci-fi stories, there is a steep learning curve on technical terms and jargon, but once got through the first few chapters I was off and running. T. Warwick's story definitely gave me a future to think about, though not necessarily one I want.
Vivid descriptions and a fast paced plot had this story playing out like a movie in my head. Now I just really want a set of those pink fingernail stylus to navigate my tablet.
