Magenta — Warren Fahy

Two powerful tech trillionaires have come to a crossroads. One intends to go through with their plan to destroy the global network they created to control the human race as tyranny descends over the world; the other intends to betray her.But she has hidden the power to turn it all off with one person who will decide the world's fate - unless their machine can find that person first. And that person doesn't know...An Orwellian thriller of ideas on the verge of being cancelled, ripped from today's headlines as humanity hurtles toward a future where any dissent will be branded... MAGENTA!Fahy is the brilliant writer behind the unique thriller Fragment, in which a whole new ecosystem emerges on a remote island full of well-realized and believable animals who don't play well with outsiders. In Magenta, he broadens his vision to the fraught future of humanity. (The title refers to the way citizens are color-coded based on their stability, utility, etc.) An all-powerful global network can either serve or control the world, and its founders have very different ideas of what should happen now. As a teenager named Rory finds himself drawn into a world he's hopelessly underequipped to understand and save, Fahy spins a fast-paced thriller (think Harlan Coben) about the clash of ideas, etihics, and future possibilities. -Matthew BilleIn a society built through inverted totalitarianism and intrusive technology, citizens are labeled into a color coded category which defines their level of compliance and conformity. Most citizens strive to gain and maintain the color purple, which grants them access to everything from housing to education. However, for those who do not conform, for those who dare to think for themselves, for those who dare to be individuals.. for them is the color Magenta. Mr. Fahy has created a story that rings painfully true to the reality in which we all live. However, as you will learn from his well crafted story.. free will is resilient and there is always hope for those who think for themselves. Well done. - Josh FieldsPraise for Warren Fahy’s other works:FRAGMENT:Fast-paced action adventure with a spectacular scientific edge. —Library JournalFahy takes readers on a wild ride through a parallel universe where evolution has run amok—think Jurassic Park but scarier. ―The Wall Street JournalPANDEMONIUM:Warren Fahy's PANDEMONIUM is pure genius, an otherworldly wonder as creative as the best of Jules Verne.
