' Gnomon is an extraordinary novel, and one I can't stop thinking about some weeks after I read it. The staggering consequences of what she finds will reverberate throughout the world. A story of near-future mass surveillance, artificial intelligence and human identity. Nick Harkaway’s most ambitious novel yet. Immersing herself in neural recordings of the interrogation, what she finds isn't Hunter but rather a panorama of characters within Hunter's psyche.Įmbedded in the memories of these impossible lives lies a code which Neith must decipher to find out what Hunter is hiding. So Harkaway, who had shied away from being too literary in his earlier work, took that as a directive and leaped right into Gnomon, his most ambitious novel yet, without a plan in place.

Gnomon by Nick Harkaway Knopf, 2018 There were flickers and flashes of the fantastic winking all through Nick Harkaway's 2014 novel Tigerman, odd moments when the peripheries of the book's main plot veered well away from the fields we know and then veered promptly back. Mielikki Neith, a trusted state inspector, is assigned to find out what went wrong. When suspected dissident Diana Hunter dies in custody, it marks the first time a citizen has been killed during an interrogation. Near-future Britain is a state in which citizens are constantly observed and democracy has reached a pinnacle of 'transparency.' Every action is seen, every word is recorded and the System has access to thoughts and memories. Random House presents the audiobook edition of Gnomon, written by Nick Harkaway, read by Ben Onwukwe.
