Book description

In answer to an unanswerable future, science has created Bohn, the omnipotent computer whose flashing circuits and messianic [pronouncements dictate what tomorrow will - or will not - be. But Matthew Oliver is flesh and blood and full of questions - not nearly as certain as the machine he's appointed to serve. And the right hand of science seldom knows what the left hand is doing . . . D. G. Compton (1930 -) David Guy Compton was born in London in 1930. He is a British science fiction author who publishes SF under the name D. G. Compton. His earlier crime novels were published under 'Guy Compton', and his Gothic novels under 'Frances Lynch'. He is best known for The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe, a classic of British SF that exposed the pitfalls of voyeuristic entertainment decades before the likes of 'The Truman Show'.
