Post Truth World
A decades long strategy is dividing the world behind a digital iron curtain
by Douglas Blackburn
Post Truth World by Douglas Blackburn is a riveting thriller that dives into the complexities of modern geopolitical conflicts, weaving a narrative that’s as timely as it is compelling. In an era marked by the rise of fake news, social media manipulation, and the ever-looming spectre of cyber warfare, the United Nations Centre for Technology and Culture (UNCTC) team stands as humanity’s first line of defence. Led by a mysterious Chinese figure, this eclectic group of international agents is tasked with preventing a bioweapon attack poised to devastate East Africa and potentially alter the global power dynamic.
Following their successful mission against a medieval Caliphate, the team now faces a formidable challenge: thwarting China’s ambition to forge new alliances and dominate the global stage. Blackburn masterfully navigates the shadowy realms of political espionage and cyber threats, crafting a narrative that’s both a thrilling adventure and a profound commentary on the dangers of a post-truth world.
As the UNCTC team races against time to foil a sinister plot that threatens not just the political landscape of Africa but the very fabric of international relations, readers are treated to a story that expertly balances high-stakes action with the intricate realities of global politics. Post Truth World is not just a tale of espionage and intrigue; it’s a reflection on the power of truth in a world where reality is increasingly malleable. This novel is a must-read for fans of thrillers who are also keen on delving into the nuanced challenges facing our world today.
