Customer Reviews

Fast paced...but

This book is without a doubt a fast-paced novel, but there is more to it...much much more. At first, the storyline is just perfect, everything in the flow of the plot is just pure enjoyment. However, as you are going through the book, Cass Tell brings you exactly where he or she wants. He/She challenges the way our entire society is organized today and he/she uncovers some of the issues associated with recent communication trends. This is the first book published by this author and it is very likely to be a great success.

Cass Tell has hit the spot!

This is one of those books you find stuck to your hand while curled up on a couch in the middle of the night, knowing you should be going to bed, but there's no way to stop reading. The plot keeps you going, but more than that, you relate to it. In this story it's about domination and who wins, but more that that there are psychological undertones that relate to everyone, that is, dependence and how we get hooked to all kinds of things. And, it deals with the motivations of the people who want us to get addicted. While the book uses the internet as the prime example for this theme, the ideas in this book could be generalized to anything we get addicted to. I ask myself how Cass Tell started with such a simple idea and developed it into something that was so compelling. One can't help but applaud this author's imagination. A great read with some ideas that demand further discussion.

Amazing storyline

Amazing book, I could not put it down. It is well balanced on every aspect and has the rare ability to appeal to a wide public. In other words, it is very different from many commercial novels that are usually targeted heavily on one type of reader. This book immerses us in a fast moving adventure and really stimulates deep thinking through the contemporary issues it addresses. Social Code is about our world today, deeply affected by the arrival (or the intrusion) of the Internet in our lives and in our homes. It creates a new balance in the way we communicate and get information, including how other people get information about us through the footprints we leave while surfing the web. This adventure has incredible depth and is very well balanced between psychology and action. I would definitely recommend this book and I can't wait to read other books from this author.
