Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press Minotaur Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new book by Thomas Mullen and wonderfully narrated by Gary Tiedemann - 4 stars!
Seven years ago, The Blindness swept through the world leaving everyone virtually blind. Technology created vidders, an implantable device that allows people a way to see. But it appears that someone has hacked that technology, creating black blurs in people's vision. When Detective Mark Owens sees a murder happen but the perpetrator is blurred out of his vision, no one believes him. Soon the detective himself is a suspect.
This is a scary dystopian look into a future pandemic's effect on society and will definitely give you present day issue vibes. There are conspiracy theories, anti-technology and anti-government protestors, police corruption, classism, politics - need I go on? Plus, going blind and having all visual cues taken away brings up so many fears - loss of control, loss of trust, loss of faith. With that as a background, there is a mystery here to be solved so buckle up!
