I was looking around at random books without any particular goal. After asking for help and getting some books suggested by the staff I decided to take a look at the books in the same section as he had been looking.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always when you&#8217;re not looking for something specific that you find it. I saw the book idlewild and I read the back. It seemed like a good book, showed it to the friend. He agreed. He commented &#8220;why do you find a book immediatly when I&#8217;ve just spent ten minutes looking without finding anything.<\/p>\n<p>Luck I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>The book is about some children who are living in a virtual world, created for their education. It is an immersive virtual reality program which they have grown up in from a young age. One of these people wakes up without memories, confused. Throughout the book he struggles to understand what happened.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t go any more into the details of the book but it&#8217;s a good read. It&#8217;s one of those books that you start reading and actually finish within a short amount of time. It&#8217;s well written and interesting. It&#8217;s a look at what may one day be part of our daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed it so I&#8217;ll pass the book to that friend and see what he thinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>After having spent the whole night without sleep yesterday my energy levels were low and I decided that I would rest.
