Teaser Tuesdays (July 21)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

That’s my choice of the day:

Broken_Angels_cover_(Amazon)

The difference between virtuality and life is very simple – in a construct you know everything is being run by an all-powerful machine. Reality doesn’t offer this assurance, so it’s very easy to develop the mistaken impression that you’re in control.”

( ~ Broken Angels, by Richard Morgan, 2003, Kindle edition.)

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here.

    Thought provoking. It’s true. Although one could argue that we are in control of at least some portions of our lives.

      Indeed. In that context, however, it makes totally sense, in a frightening way…

    It’s a trap I often fall into, thinking that I am in control!

    Do you like books with dogs? Here’s my teaser from a mystery that I really enjoyed. Funny, fast moving and engaging: http://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-dog-tags/

    Great teaser and very true. My teaser this week comes from the urban fantasy Magic Lost Trouble Found by Lisa Shearin. Happy reading!

    I like to think I’m in control, but in reality, I control very little. I do like that teaser and I’m curious about the book.

      Richard Morgan is one of the best SF/cyberpunk/thriller new authors – worth having a look at!
