The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts

By Pamelascott

She believed in the mission with all her heart.

But that was sixty million years ago.

How do you stage a mutiny when you're only awake one day in a million? How do you conspire when your tiny handful of potential ally's changes with each shift? How do you engage an enemy that never sleeps, that sees through your eyes and hears through your ears and relentlessly, honestly, only wants what best for you?

Sunday Ahzmundin is about to find out.

This is my first time reading the author. I only occasionally read science fiction. I really enjoyed this novella. I felt like I was missing bits of the story though and apparently, I was as this is part of a series. I will likely read the other novellas to get the full story. I enjoyed the way the story develops as Sunday and her fellow conspirators work towards a seemingly impossible task. This short little book raises a hell of a lot of questions. How can you plan to take out an enemy when you're awake for such a short time? How can you get the better of something but it's very nature is or should be way smarter than you, something that can read and understand every thought in your head? Excellent little piece of writing.
