Almost a Perfect World

New release from the author of the absolute worldwide bestseller «GOD ALWAYS TRAVELS INCOGNITO»!
The new novel by Gounel «Almost a Perfect World» is a story about a new and very familiar world where social networks and algorithms enslave us, and... about how to remain human in this new world. A vivid and transparent story about what happens when people give up their right to choose to authorities or algorithms for the sake of everyday comfort.
According to the plot, the world is split in two: highly developed Correct Ones and free Outcasts who fled from technological control. At the center is the story of programmer David Lisner, who lives in the world of the Correct Ones—those who have freed themselves from disease, poverty, and uncertainty, and enjoy bonuses and mobile applications if they diligently follow the recommendations of numerous mobile apps, and risk being cast aside if they stop obeying. But is he truly happy? When David meets a girl named Eva from the Outcasts, the niece of a great sociologist who asks uncomfortable questions, he gradually begins to wonder himself. Why, after all, must he obediently conform to others' expectations?
Deep philosophy and understanding of human nature, an exciting plot, an innovative perspective on modern technologies and society. Ease of reading and captivating storytelling. All of this has been masterfully combined in his detective thriller by Laurent Gounel, a recognized expert in personality development psychology.
