New You For Ever
Steve Cole
Set in 2070 and frighteningly believable, this is a sci-fi, dystopian tale which combines both the issues of man’s destruction of the planet with an outlandish (or is it?) solution by AI.
A young journalist, Anders Jones, and his father are invited to the New You Foundation who claim to have the answer to the climate crisis. They want humans to transform themselves into Peekas (Perfect artificial replicas). Peekas don’t waste the Earth’s resources. Is it too good to be true?
I was gripped by this. It is written for readers with a reading age of 8 but an interest age of 11+ and has all the elements of a compelling thriller.
