Product Description

Raj is going to escape his humdrum life by making the perfect iPhone app. But with his home life falling apart and his work life in ruins, the unexpected evolution of his pet project may turn out to be less perfect than he'd hoped... and it may help him out of his life entirely...

About the Author

MCM is the author of The Vector, Dustrunners: Typhoon and The New Real, as well as creator of the award-winning animated series RollBots. When not flying across Canada (in what is certainly the world's most absurd commuting arrangement), he livewrites novels at his website, 1889.ca.

This review is from: The App (Kindle Edition)
Once I started reading The App, I couldn't stop. The story centers around a very realistically written and relatable guy named Raj. Raj decides to make an app, and when the code begins to get changed and the people around him start dying, Raj is left trying to figure out exactly what is going on while fearing he will be charged with murder or killed himself. This story got into my subconcious and actually caused me to have dreams about some of the things in it happening to me (that I didn't realize until later were based on this book), which I think shows it is an amazing book.

Don't let the fact that this is about a programmer scare you away. The book manages to be understandable to even people that have only ever head of an app, while still being entertaining to people that have programmed. I think fans of both the sci-fi and thriller genres will enjoy The App.
