A review by anjthereader
The Nirvana Effect by Brian Pinkerton

4.0

Nirvana Effect was better than I thought it would be. Set in a dystopian world where people are obsessed with technology and virtual reality, the government uses this to its full advantage and a small group of people is fighting for their lives and humanity.

This novel has an original and cool concept. It deals with timely issues where technology reigns in the near future. The events in the books felt realistic and unsettling as this was set a few years from now and how people are so fixated with technology. Nirvana Effect is well-written, action-packed, full of plot twists, and a hint of romance.

I actually almost DNF this book but decided to linger for a few more pages. Some dialogues and pacing were a bit choppy. Some parts were a bit redundant and I can’t connect with some characters.

Overall, Brian Pinkerton is a promising author of this genre. Would watch out for more of his works. This was a good and chilling read. I would recommend this to those who like dystopian or sci-fi.

Thank you, Brian Pinkerton, Flame Tree Press, and Netgalley for the e-ARC of Nirvana Effect. All thoughts and opinions are mine.
