A Cursed Place

De: Peter Hanington

Narrado por: Jonathan Keeble

Reporter William Carver comes up against Big Tech's manipulation and suppression of truth from the mines of Chile to the turbulent streets of Hong Kong.

Knowledge is power. And they know everything.

The tech company Public Square believes in 'doing well by doing good'. It's built a multi-billion-dollar business on this philosophy and by getting to know what people want. They know a lot. But who else can access all that information, and what are they planning to do with it?

Reporter William Carver is an analogue man in a digital world. He isn't the most tech-savvy reporter, he's definitely old school, but he needs to learn fast - the people he cares most about are in harm's way.

From the Chilean mines where they dig for raw materials that enable the tech revolution, to the streets of Hong Kong where anti-government protesters are fighting against the Chinese State, to the shiny research laboratories of Silicon Valley where personal data is being mined everyday - A Cursed Place is a gripping thriller set against the global forces that shape our times.

Great Stuff!

This is the third Peter Hanington I’ve listened to on Audible. All three are terrific. The writing is wonderful. You care about all his characters, and the descriptions are well written. His plots are timely and believable. The action unfolds slowly and builds relentlessly. I love his novels!

The best book I’ve listened to in ages👌

I was recommended to Peter Hanington’s Debue novel about a week ago and have now listened to all 3 books since.
Each one has got progressively better with ‘A Cursed Place’ being a real ‘Page Turner’
This series is a Winner and I can’t wait for the next in the series.
Jonathan Keeble is one of my favorite narrators and delivers a masterful performance.
