Through most of The Oracle Year, I thought I would end up rating it a solid 4 stars my only complaint in the first 300 pages was that the characterization was a little lacking. “It was like trying to play chess in a pitch-dark room, where you had to determine your opponent’s moves by sense of smell alone. Where did the predictions come from? And is their purpose world destruction? Is there anything Will can do to stop them? But the biggest problem is that the Site seems to be alive in some way, its predictions interconnected and causing global chaos. From personal questions and requests, to giant corporations, federal governments, televangelists, mercenaries, and more, Will Dando is on the run. Because as soon as the world knows that the Oracle can really predict the future, everyone wants a piece of him. Through “the Site,” Will releases certain predictions– for credibility, for money, for betterment, for survival. He includes his friend Hamza, a whiz at investing and economics, and then he includes the whole world. The first step is to discover whether they are real, and then whether they can be changed. This is a science fiction book that was published in April.Ībout the book: Will Dando wakes up from an unusual dream one morning with 108 predictions for the future echoing in his head. I am working through my Book of the Month backlog, this time with a recent selection: Charles Soule’s The Oracle Year.
