Versailles: Yannick Hill And for brand new fiction that beautifully presents the complexities of utopian/dystopian fiction look no further than this gripping debut novel from Yannick Hill, reviewed in The Irish Times: “Casey Baer is chief executive of the world’s largest social network: “All he ever wanted was a family to love and love him right back.” But passion has mutated into obsessive control, and Versailles, the beachfront mansion with 100 rooms, where his wife and two children could “have everything they wanted”, has instead become a fortress where 1,000 cameras record every moment of their lives. Casey’s American dream is turning to nightmare on the first page as his daughter, Missy, flees Versailles on her 16th birthday. She knows that “Missy Baer Away . . . is a story that would break the internet”, but Missy has deleted her online profile and cut loose from her millions of followers. For the first time in her life she discovers the joy of privacy, the thrill of experience that goes unrecorded except in memory. […] Versailles is a beautifully imagined version of a world we already inhabit, where our love affair with technology is transforming the human experience.” Read the full review here: http://bit.ly/2ph2NpJ
