Coming to your shelves on the 7th of January 2010 is John Dickinson’s ‘WE’ (published by David Fickling Books).

The premise of the book is based on the internet and how it advances to a point where it is implanted into our brains and performs all of our dailly tasks for us and has even rendered speech inept! The novel begins with you the main character, being taken away from all of this and being thrown onto the other side of the galaxy, onto a giant moon overlooked by an even bigger planet with the company of only four other human beings for the rest of your life.

It asks a lot of questions about us as a civilization and the direction new technologies like the internet are taking us. I really enjoyed this book and although it targets teenagers I would say it definitely would appeal to adult readers as well.

My contribution towards this book is the front and back cover design and artwork
