In this page-turning contemporary thriller, National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestselling author Paolo Bacigalupi explores the timely issue of how public information is distorted for monetary gain, and how those who exploit it must be stopped.
Everything Alix knows about her life is a lie. At least that's what a mysterious young man who's stalking
her keeps saying. But then she begins investigating the disturbing
claims he makes against her father. Could her dad really be at the helm
of a firm that distorts the truth and covers up wrongdoing by hugely
profitable corporations that have allowed innocent victims to die? Is it
possible that her father is the bad guy, and that the undeniably
alluring criminal who calls himself Moses--and his radical band of teen
activists--is right? Alix has to make a choice, and time is running out,
but can she truly risk everything and blow the whistle on the man who
loves her and raised her?
Why I'm Excited:
This sounds different from what I usually read, but pretty intriguing. The idea of looking at how public information is distorted is just so interesting to me. I also like the idea of a girl having to examine who her father really is. Overall, I think this sounds pretty amazing, and I also adore that cover. It looks very Andy Warhol-ish.

New to me - sounds a lot like Kiersten White's Mind Games somehow. I like suspense-y reads, but I think I'll wait for reviews first. Thanks for sharing!

This is new to me, but it sounds like a really heart-pounding read. I probably wouldn't have given it a second glance at first, but now I've read the synopsis, I'll have to add it to my TBR pile!
