![]() The Eye of Minds is a novel set in the future where a life-like virtual reality called the VirtNet is used widely by anyone who can afford it. Michael and his friends Bryson and Sarah are hackers who like to spend time using it, but it isn’t long before a cyber-terrorist named Kaine threatens the safety of the users. This tangent, or artificial intelligence, is conducting experiments in order to trap people in the simulation through his KillSims leaving people brain-dead in real life. Michael and his friends join the VirtNet Security in order to stop whatever Kaine is planning to do with the victims of his experiments. I found this book after reading James Dashner’s Maze Runner trilogy. Although I expected less from this not well known book, I have enjoyed it more than the Maze Runner trilogy. I find these types of books interesting as they caution about plausible futures that come with technology, but not going far out as aliens terrorizing the human race. The author captures the reader right from the start with a person about to commit suicide and it builds the interest of the reader after each chapter of the book with the mysteries that lie in this convoluted program almost like Easter Eggs. The end of the book has some perspective changing implications about what the future could be like. -MG, grade 10
