Sightseer: The Plastic Fantastic Book 1 | Dean Vale
1 post | 1 read
Cam Sexton had thought he’d seen it all. As a Looker–an elite group of professional eyewitnesses–he planned to use his upgraded cybereyes to bring him both fame and fortune. But he’s found himself embroiled in tangled intergang politics that have propelled him from being merely a spectator to a participant in a voyeuristic digital deathmatch with one of the most lethal contestants in the world, in the fight for his life. SIGHTSEER, the first book of THE PLASTIC FANTASTIC series, delivers fans of cyberpunk a neon blast of action and adventure in a dystopian world of broken dreams and brokered schemes.

In a futuristic Chicago (Shytown), its human inhabitants have upgraded themselves with various bits of technology & cybernetic hardware. Cam Sexton traded his eyes for cyberoptics & works as a Looker - where followers subscribe to literally see through his upgraded eyes. (continued)

When a ride-along on a police sting goes wrong, Cam finds himself on the run for his life as a contract killer - a weapons-enhanced killer clown named Stabby - is sent after him. Can Cam survive or will his followers get the ultimate front seat to his death?

What I liked/what worked: the plotline & pacing was good, the world vibe was very 'Bladerunner meets Minority Report', & Cam was a fairly likeable protagonist.

OutsmartYourShelf What I didn't like/what didn't work: a few instances of 'info dump', the vocabulary took a little getting used to, & the two brief sex scenes added absolutely nothing to the story.

Overall it was entertaining & it looks like there are more planned books in the same world, so I'll probably pick up the next one. If you like cyberpunk dystopian, then give this a whirl. 3.75 🌟

My thanks to NetGalley & publisher, BooksGoSocial, for the ARC.
