frenzship – By Ray Glickman

In a world increasingly governed by our social media accounts and our interactions with them, a new psychological thriller gives a chilling look into a potential dystopian future.

Researchers have recognised that the buzz we receive from likes and followers is akin to a drug rush. But what if our ability to choose who we like and follow was taken away from us. Dictated to by the app itself?

At the actual F8 developer conference last week Regina Dugan, talked about a future where Facebook could be interfaced directly from the brain... In Glickman’s frenzship this is a reality.

frenzship heralds a new era of meaningful online relationships and is the next-generation of Facebook, a new form of 'psychosocial' media that reinvents the concept of friendship in the Information Age. But as with all new technology and interfaces, it is blamed for the deviant behaviour of some devotees.

A punchy, provocative read, this psychological thriller will make you question all you know about social media and how much you feed into it. frenzship, the follow-up to Glickman’s highly regarded debut novel ‘Reality’, explores the mysterious, enduring nature of friendship and examines how this concept is evolving in times of disruptive technological change. Thought-provoking and emotionally gripping, it is another must read from this emerging talent.
