Don't forget Aunt Mable this Christmas!

How many alleged ‘technothrillers’ ACTUALLY have any ‘techno’?

 I don’t know about you lot … but when I jump on to Amazon - the vast majority of what I see when I type in ‘techno thriller’ or ‘technothriller’ are just bog standard modern day THRILLERS … They abuse the ‘TECHNO’ title, and go - well, there’s a plane, and a gun, and a mention of high tech comms or weapons!!!

That’s not a TECHNOTHRILLER people!

Blake Crouch, Daniel Suarez, ME … that’s TECHNOTHRILLER territory.

So, the next time your read a book that brands itself a technothriller despite being based in the modern day and only mentioning everyday things like cellphones and the internet… PLEASE make a point of saying the book is good (if it is) .. BUT also mention that it absolutely isn’t a technothriller! 

A technothriller IS about the technology; WHAT it means to, or for us. YOU ARE supposed to think about the possible impacts the story will have on our lives … If you don’t - it’s NOT a technothriller!

Big Christmassy hugs to all … don’t forget to check out Ghost in the Machine https://amzn.eu/d/abQysLX
