I think, the first few pages has some prolonged narrative and words were flowery. Not really the kind of story I would read.

I feel that this book is sci-fi in nature, not a genre I care for. Congrats on BOTD!

Thank you for your review. Well written! I appreciate the warning of the heavy political orating. I'm burnt out on politics and tune it out whether it is my view or the other side's view. I'll pass on this one.

Citizen A is obviously a smart person. I would love to know how the love story between Citizen A and Elf went and to know more about the cunning methods employed by Citizen A just to get Elf's attention. Nice review.

On the other hand, there were a couple of negatives worth mentioning. Firstly, I felt that the political commentary throughout the book was sometimes overdone and borderline preachy. Additionally, the aspect I disliked the most was the ending. Although it wrapped things up nicely, it lacked believability. I felt that the author pushed the suspension of disbelief a bit too far. But I’m not going to give away any spoilers!
Now I'm so confused! 🤣
I loved the sample but I hate preachy books and I have a lot of trouble suspending disbelief in sci-fi stories...
I guess I'll have to check it out.
Thank you!

Sounds like sort of an unusual story, yet a well developed character driven novel. Congratulations on being BOTD

While I like dystopian novels, I do like for them to have a believable ending. Thank you for the warning.

The downside for me is the element of sci-fi, but since it's set in the near future I think I'll give it a try since it's already on my Kindle. Looks like it has a nice mix of politics and romance! Thanks for the revealing review!

The chip of knowledge and dystopian theme sounds intriguing, but I do not enjoy books with a heavy political storyline. Still, I'm going to give this one a try. Thanks for the review.

This is a thought-provoking story. The title is worth meditating on. Yes, I sincerely love the flow: the romance, moral lessons, and knowledge. The story is engaging. Great review!

An interesting political commentary book "The chip of knowledge" by Vaggelis Kaliosis, which follows citizen A, who belong to a state of 50 million people and the state is ruled by a corrupt government. Surprisingly, citizen A is attracted to the governor's daughter. The story appears quite entertaining.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Between the future setting, the political parable surrounding a massive surveillance network, and an overarching love-story, there is a little bit of something for every reader in this one.

This sci_fi sounds interesting, with investigative journalism and love in the air, accompanied by parables what more can a reader ask for. The only part that wasn't appealing was the political aspect as am not an advocate of politics. Thanks for the detailed review.
