People used to live in places called countries. They raised flags and elected governments to rule them. They had a nationality. But that was a long time ago. The words ’nation’ and ‘government’ are relics, things of the past. It has been centuries since the last tattered flag was raised. Now, the world is dominated by corporations and the people that live within their vast, protective shells are the lucky employees. The less fortunate, the consumers, live outside in the Hoards. Leafen is one such corporation, a technology giant famous for its Fronds - genetic implants that connect users to a vast social network. And for Leafen's 40 million employees, turning sixteen is a very special day. This is the day of their Colours - the personality grading test that will guide their behaviour, and the behaviour of everyone they meet, throughout their busy lives. Your Colours define you. Under the guidance of The Market - an omniscient AI system worshipped globally as a deity - and its annual nano-mite sweeps, everything is as it should be. Corporations produce and the Hoards consume. But when Leafen is suddenly attacked by a huge and ruthless defence corporation, the population is thrown into confusion, and some of its staff are about to find out that life within the protective shell of their home is not what they thought it was.

By gc I was expecting something out of Max Headroom by the description, which would not have been bad. The author brought it in a direction I did not see coming. Second book I have enjoyed by the author that deals with a possible future without having to deal with diseases or zombies.

Walker has crafted a picture of a future on Earth that is both utterly fantastic and completely imaginable.Walkers previous book, The End of the World Running Club, was a joy to read. A tale of the near end of civilization told through the travels and travails of an ordinary poor slob who finds an inner strength he was convinced he did not have. It’s a wonderful book and I thought it would be hard to top. But Walker has done that while turning in a very different direction.Colours, mixes scenes of life far in the future with believable, wonderfully drawn characters from today’s corporate world of work, blue color folks just doing their jobs and even a few reminiscent of the old west. The book follows the stories and tribulations of several of these characters who are unknowingly on collision courses with potential catastrophe, and forever changing their lives in the process. Some are separated by their station in life, and some are as close as father and daughter. They all play a part in an engrossing tale of deception, intrigue, mystery and pursuit.Most reviews recount a synopsis of the basic story. I tend not to do that for a couple reasons. First, I am not a professional reviewer and don’t pretend to be. Second, I think the elements of surprise and character development in this story are too important to risk a spoiler.It is hundreds of years in the future and: from the intro to the book, “the world is dominated by corporations and the people that live within their vast, protective shells are the lucky employees. The less fortunate, the consumers, live outside in the Hoards.”The employee’s lives, the work they do and the social circles they inhabit are determined by a personality test administered when they are sixteen. The result of this test will determine their Colours and indeed, the rest of their lives.I hesitate to brand this book as purely science fiction. I like to think of it as “future fiction”. The book is not filled with technical information. It is just explanatory enough for the reader to understand how virtually everyone is networked together. More importantly, this genetically implanted, network connection defines the character’s thoughts, feelings and in fact, the arc of their lives. The physical state of the world is strange and disturbing, however the author doesn’t weigh the story down with scientific explanations. It is the way the world has evolved and it is fantastic enough in its telling. Walker evokes a planet of fantastically large buildings housing the employees of the Leafen Corporation. His depictions of such mundane infrastructure as transportation, reconstruction and even waste disposal are fascinating without being overly burdensome to the underlying story.There is nothing preachy about Colours. It is a depiction of a future controlled by an omnipotent AI, Corporations that control character’s lives and the complete lack of the concept of the state. There are evil players and reluctant heroes. No one is without flaws. Walker does not castigate the Corporate bosses or opine about the state of the world. He just tells the story with solid writing and beautifully descriptive passages. These tenants make Colours a very grown up, intelligent book.The action is fast paced and exciting. Once the ground work is laid, things happen very quickly and in rapid succession. While each of his novels are thematically, different, I have enjoyed each of Adrian J. Walker’s books. His writing is excellent and his approach to familiar themes and his imagination is so unpredictable, it is refreshing.It seems clear that Adrian J. Walker will continue this story as a series. It certainly will hold up to further exploration and I’m looking forward to the next book.Check out Colours. You won’t be disappointed.I received an ARC of this book.

Fuhrman Great science fiction, in my opinion, creates a convincing future where characters still struggle with the things we struggle with today: ourselves. Colours demonstrates this very well. We're introduced to a future where corporations have replaced the governments of the world and people are essentially categorized by their "colors" and the world is divided by those who work inside the corporations and those who are banished to live outside of them.The characters were well drawn and their struggles convincing. We get to see from the perspectives of those who essentially "have it all" and those who are scraping by, forced to live in a wasteland. But we learn that nowhere in the hierarchy is safe.The novel takes a bit of time to essentially get into the main plot, but I never felt that the exposition was forced. You learned slowly about the world through the characters and not by some boring historical prologue. I really appreciate this in novels as many authors are so worried the reader won't "get it" that they feel the need to dump a bunch of details in one go.My only gripe was that the novel was clearly set up as somewhat of a commentary on our current situation in society, but we never got a deep look into the interplay between corporations and how a society ruled by them would be so different than run by governments that essentially have no competition. The concept is really fascinating and I hope it's detailed in future books.A great read and highly recommended. I look forward to the next volume.
