IN THE near future our world collectively turns its back on intrusive digital technology in Green Valley by Louis Greenberg (Titan).
Most people are no longer content to have their lives run by connected devices which are themselves run by unaccountable corporations. The surveillance state of the early 21st century is dead and buried — or, at least, it's buried.
There's just one quarantined enclave where people still insist on living the cyberspace way — Green Valley. That's where police consultant Lucie's niece lives with her family and that's where the girl has gone missing. Lucie's going to have to go in there to find her and hope she can get out again.
