This turned out way more differently then I ever imagined. It was amazing though! A thriller almost to the point of scary; imaginable almost to the point of scientific. I wouldn't be completely surprised if this ever happened in the future to the world, the way we're going.

Imagine if falling asleep left you lost in the world. In the novel Human.4, Mike A. Lancaster explores a story of four people who become hypnotized and find that when they wake up their whole world has been changed in an extreme way. In order to portray the otherworldly experiences of the characters, Lancaster tells the story first-hand through the transcribed voice tapes recorded by the main character, Kyle Straker. While the focus and plot of the story is incredible and brings an original idea which many people would not have been able to come up with, the vocabulary and writing used when telling the story is not as up to par. Overall, however, the novel was an interesting and thought provoking piece of sci-fi literature.

Lancaster's novel is a brilliant piece of sci-fi for a YA audience. The audiotapes that Kyle has recorded are being mediated by an editor "Mike A. Lancaster," whom we deduce is writing his introductions and notes at some point in the future. The tale is creepy, fascinating, and there are hints of humour that slip through occasionally. At first the novel feels like a sci-fi tale we've all seen before, but Lancaster turns it on its head and creates a fascinating strange new world that is intriguing and also mildly horrifying. A wonderful bit of sci-fi that will have you looking closer at the things you think you see out of the corner of your eye.

I thought this was a really strange idea for a book, but I found it to be interesting! I love ideas that nobody's done before and it's hard to come across something like that nowadays. I thought that this chilling novel was a pretty good read, though hard to understand sometimes.

Is this the same book as 0.4 ?

this book was not at all what i suspected. it was really wierd, but he author did a good job of making you feel how different and serreal the world had become. It was an interesting idea for a novel.
