Beings of Light

Paul Varley

The human race has been conquered, the past has been erased from the record, and one man must fight to save what remains of humanity.


The human race is completely in thrall to the goddess Holonet and her angelic holosims: their slaves, their playthings, even their source of food. That is how it always will be, because that is how it always has been... or has it? Mark Andrews has discovered the true origin of the holosims. Burning at the injustices and the cover-ups that have crippled humanity, he is now determined to destroy Holonet and free the humans from her despotic rule. But to stand any chance of success, he must become the thing he now loathes most in the world: a holosim, a Being of Light.

But that's the easy part. Once Mark becomes a holosim, he has to stop himself from slowly degrading into one of the very monsters he's trying to destroy. Especially as Holonet has taken a shine to him...

A science fiction novel that combines themes from The Matrix and Nineteen Eighty-Four with an original setting and plenty of twists.

Well, Mark's real issue is that he - and the entire human race - have been living a lie. It's a "me" thing, I guess - I can't stand propaganda (but at the same time I find the concept intriguing). I've got to start writing this again. The plot's all there, as I already have a complete draft 1, ... view book

Some really clever stuff here. It's always fun to read from the point of view of the villain, and his hatred of Rolph Stengun really shines through. The whole thing with the giant nose is very clever, reminiscent of both North By Northwest and the Secondary Phase of H2G2's radio version. And I li... view book
