Mindwalker by Kate Dylan
5.0
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Every update I saw about Mindwalker I became even more excited. The premise, the cover, the blurbs - everything! And Dylan immediately plunges you into the action. From a SF world perspective, I loved the ways in which it begins with the ethics of technology in these teens. The ways their bodies are weaponized, treated as assets, necessary sacrifices with a countdown. Even days after finishing Mindwalker, I cannot get over how much I am in love with the premise. The ramifications of mind control and the ethics.
A world where our bodies are just technology and assets. What I loved even more is that Dylan fully explores the ways in which corporations and power functions. How they come into a system of poverty and desperation and know just what to say to exploit it for their benefit. To disguise control as protection. A world in which we cannot trust that we aren't pawns. Even if we have a modicum of power, someone always has more.
