Book Review
“Gnomon”
by Nick Harkaway
In the world of “Gnomon,”
the latest book by best-selling
author Nick Harkaway, citizens
are constantly observed and de-
mocracy has reached a pinnacle
of “transparency.” Every action
is seen, every word is record-
ed, and the System has access
to its citizens’ thoughts and
memories — all in the name of
providing the safest society in
history.
When suspected dissident
Diana Hunter dies in govern-
ment custody, it marks the first
time a citizen has been killed
during an interrogation. The
System doesn’t make mistakes,
but something isn’t right about
the circumstances surrounding
Hunter’s death.
Mielikki Neith, a trusted
state inspector and a true be-
liever in the System, is assigned
to find out what went wrong.
Immersing herself in neural
recordings of the interrogation,
what she finds isn’t Hunter but
rather an array of characters
within Hunter’s psyche: a love-
lorn financier in Athens who
has a mystical experience with
a shark; a brilliant alchemist in
ancient Carthage confronting
the unexpected outcome of her
invention; an expat Ethiopian
painter in London designing a
controversial new video game;
and a sociopathic disembodied
intelligence from the distant
future. Embedded in the mem-
ories of these impossible lives
lies a code that Neith must de-
cipher to find out what Hunter
was hiding.
In the static between these
stories, Neith begins to catch
glimpses of the real Diana Hunt-
er — and, alarmingly, of herself.
The staggering consequences of
what she finds will reverberate
throughout the world.
A
dazzling,
panoram-
ic achievement, and Nick
Harkaway’s most brilliant work
to date, “Gnomon” is peerless
and profound, captivating and
irreverent, as it pierces through
strata of reality and conscious-
ness, and illuminates how to set
a mind free. It is a truly accom-
plished novel from an author
possessing a matchless wit in-
fused with a deep humanity.
