In the Gleaming Light: When the robots steal our jobs...
It's 2048. Automation has stolen vast swathes of jobs, and the government pays everyone a no-strings-attached income, enough to live on, in order to keep the economy going. Society is split into those who can get jobs; engineers, managers, creatives, and those who cannot.
Iva Brooksbank, Senior Investigator of the Enforcement Office, has made a career of taking down corporate moguls who flout the rules, and now she has Guy Strathclyde, CEO of Cybax Technologies, firmly in her sights. She's sure he's up to something, and races to find evidence that will stick, before her time runs out.
Lulu Banks, a world famous artist, uses her work to highlight the deep inequalities and injustices the world now faces, perpetuated, she thinks, by the relentless march of technology. But when she finds herself the object of Guy's affections, she has to decide if she can trust his intentions, or if he's just the same as all the other corporate big dogs.

I was offered an early copy of In Gleaming Light in exchange for an honest review.
First off - I have given In Gleaming Light a five-star review because I devoured it in one sitting and found it equal parts an enjoyable read and thought provoking.
The author introduces us to a future where Britain is at the forefront of automation. Given the current non-stop BREXIT news cycle -- this was a welcome change of scenery. H.R. Moore effortlessly introduces us to a new reality that includes hyper-loops and universal income -- while making us simultaneously question whether this is indeed the future we should be hoping for.
The quick-witted dialogue between the characters was also a highlight for me -- I could very easily see this being made into a television series by the BBC. I do hope this is the case as I would love to see it on screen!
As an avid rom-com reader, I can recommend this book to anyone who would like a little substance alongside their escapism.

*Received an ARC copy to give an honest review*
What happens when technology goes too far?
This book delves into the very real troubles of a utopia, and what it means to be human in a technological world.
I finished this book in one sitting because I couldn't put it down! I found the writing style to be accessible, something I've rarely found in modern day sci-fi novels, especially with the technological aspects of the novel. I enjoyed learning about the political landscape of this future world, the pitfalls of relying on technology as well as the benefits. Whilst a precautionary tale, I felt the author was brutally honest when it came to how beneficial technology could be if we worked on it.
Mental health played a big part in Lulu's political hopes for the future, with her concerns for the disenfranchised and acknowledgement that technology can be incredibly difficult to keep up with.
Lastly, I couldn't get enough of Lulu, a headstrong artist who knows there's so many problems with the but just needs to find the solution.
Though set in the future, this novel discusses very modern issues and I loved it.

I was given a copy of ‘In The Gleaming Light’ in exchange for an honest review. As a reader who does not tend to read books in the Sci-fi genre, this book made me totally rethink this! It was incredibly well written with lots of detail which added to great character and world building. The plot is current in terms of the topics within it and it focuses on what the future may be like if technology continues to advance.
The story is told from the differing perspectives of the characters which enhanced the story, and it made it hard to predict the twists and turns of the book which was clever.
The book is about a transformed futuristic England, where humans have robots for butlers and numerous technological inventions to make their lives easier. It shows a world where humans barely have to work, and the repercussions of a world where technology is overly relied upon.
Alongside the advancements and inventions, the book centres on Iva, a Senior investigator who has made it her mission to target big corporations to ensure they are sticking to the rules and regulations that have been enforced in society. Her latest target beingGuy Strathclyde, a corporate pioneer who she has previous history with.
The story depicts the differing political views of the characters and how they view their society and the technological advancements surrounding them. It is very true to life with snippets of news stories and political debates over society’s mental health and economy etc, and I found it a truly fascinating read.
It was thought provoking and made you wonder whether our current society will end up mirroring the book in some way. I would say ‘In The Gleaming Light’ is a must read for any sci-fi fans or even romance lovers like myself, as the little love story between Lulu the artist and Guy is equally as thrilling as the plot.
An all round amazing book to read with great character building and was a page turner from start to finish. I’d highly recommend!

I was offered the opportunity to read In the Gleaming Light by H.R. Moore for an honest review and did this book take me by surprise.
From the start, we are introduced to a tech-filled world and the gadgets that they have to enhance living is really cool. Not only do they have robots to help you around the household but there are set hours a person can work, providing equal chances to get a job for everyone. Big corporations are forced to follow the rules however, not everyone does. But, are they abusing their power for more wealth for themselves or for a better cause?
I love the world that was created and found myself really engaged with the characters and the story. This book is more of a "world" creation kind of story. By this I mean, there were tons of layers and creativity to the setting but the plot itself is very simple and almost slips away from you. However, there is always something pulling you back to the main plot when you've drifted too far from it.
As for the characters, they have a huge part in making you think while going through this book. I enjoyed reading the perspective from Guy and Lulu as they were both raised in different environments. And with each different environment, they have their own views on the definition of success. There were tons of interesting topics that were brought up and I lost track of time reading about them.
The writing itself is extremely well done. It was professional and unlike other new authors where you can tell that they're a bit new at writing, this was not like that at all. (This, of course, is based on me reading books instead of writing them.) I think the writing is what manages to keep a reader interested and this did the job.
Overall, I'm extremely glad that H.R. Moore reached out to me to read In the Gleaming Light. The story was not disappointing but rather a new and exciting read.

So well thought out! Intriguing and engaging.
July 15, 2019
HR Moore's "In the Gleaming Light" is a fun near-future story exploring the impacts of increasing job automation (robots taking our jobs) and universal basic income (a guaranteed income from the government for everyone) through the eyes of Guy, a progressive industrialist, and Lulu, a free-spirited artist. Might there also be some romantic sparks that fly? This is an HR Moore story, so the answer is most definitely!
I love how the story tackles big social questions that are likely to affect us in the real world soon, while never losing sight of the humanity of its characters. The sci-fi aspect of the story is light, with the focus instead on how technology -- and ambition -- affects the characters and changes them, for better or worse. Check the book out and get ready for some big changes to our own society!

I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.
Set in 2048, this is a futuristic novel filled with robots and technological advancement. I love this book because it's believable - the tech seems achievable in the near future - and relatable - the human ego and mind still remains the same after all those years. The only thing that makes me rate this 4/5 is the conversations seems too long at times, but once I got pulled in, I can't stop reading it, especially during the romance bit between Lulu and Gus! All in all, I highly recommend this for readers who wonder what the world's technology will be like in the future.

The book of H.R. Moore "In the Gleaming Light" was a certainly interesting read. She wrote about a possible future involving the advantages and also the disadvantages. I thought her interpretation of a possible nearly solely on technology based future was surely intriguing.
For me three stars means that the story and setting were good, but I missed a few things.
But she certainly emphasized the omnipresence of love in her book and the importance of love for one's own decisions.
Thank you for the read!

A semi-recognisable world set in a future of robots and cyber-automisation for the western world. Socialism, personal vendettas, philanthropy and love all feature in strong measures. A fast paced and, at times, thought provoking read.

"And remember, those you trod on whilst scaling to those heady heights, won't be there to catch you when you fall."
**I received a copy of ‘In The Gleaming Light’ by the author in exchange for an honest review**
In The Gleaming Light by H.R. Moore is a thought-provoking young adult novel set in the near future which explores the mechanics of our technological driven society, and the consequences of when automation goes too far. With sci-fi elements carefully interlaced with realism, this novel was certainly a quick and enjoyable read, however, I really wanted to like it more than I did, and I reached the end with an unfortunate sense of dissatisfaction...
"...You thought you were there anonymously. The problem is, nothing’s really anonymous any longer; there’s always a way to be traced."
The story is set in a future in which humans rely heavily on technology and use robots to make their lives easier; resulting in people hardly having to work, and the government paying everyone an income just large enough to live on. The plot follows Iva, a senior investigator who targets large corporations to ensure that they're sticking to the strict regulations, and has Guy Strathclyde, CEO of Cybax Technologies, in her sights. She's sure that he's up to something illegal... all she has to do is prove it. Meanwhile, Lulu Banks, a world famous artist who highlights the inequalities created by the rise of technology through art, crosses paths with Guy, and has to decide whether she can trust him, or if Iva was right all along.
This novel honestly started off really well; the concept of technology dominating society was one I'd heard before, but Moore managed to put a unique spin on this idea and create something that was equal parts intriguing and thought-provoking. By exploring both the advantages and disadvantages of a world almost entirely dependant on technology, Moore brought up a number of compelling points that I never would have thought to consider. I loved the level of detail she delved into which helped to create a vivid concept of what the future might look like, and one which truly could become a tangible reality if technology continues to advance. There were definitely some aspects that I felt didn't quite need the level of detail that was given, but overall I really enjoyed the world building and it left me thinking, long after I'd reached the end.
"We don't live in a perfect world and we shouldn't pretend that we do."
Unfortunately, one of the things that I didn't love so much were the characters. At first, Guy and Lulu both seemed quite one dimensional, and although their backstories and motivations were interesting when they were eventually revealed, I found it really difficult to connect with them. I also disliked the lack of diversity between characters, and would have loved to see a bit more representation. In saying that, I did really like the fact that the novel was told in an omniscient third person perspective, and all of the different characters that were introduced throughout the story. I loved learning how they each fit into the overarching plot, and it definitely worked well when all the pieces came together at the resolution of the novel. One of my favourite characters was definitely either Thomas or Iva, whose true intentions were both difficult to guess, making the plot far more enjoyable. Although some aspects of the plot were a little too repetitive and political for my personal taste, the overarching investigation into Guy’s technology company was intriguing, and I genuinely found myself wanting to keep reading to discover his true intentions. However, the execution of the final ‘big reveal’ was a little bit lacking in my opinion, and wasn’t quite as satisfying as I’d envisioned. Despite this, the plot twists along the way were very clever, and they managed to kept me guessing the entire way through.
"Rules were for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools..."
Overall, In The Gleaming Light was a thought provoking novel and an enjoyable read. Moore's vision of a future dominated by technology was certainly an interesting one, and although some aspects of the plot and characters weren’t as captivating as I'd anticipated, it was still a very compelling concept. If you’re a teenager over the age of sixteen who’s interested in sci-fi, romance, or what the future might bring with the continuing rise of technology, I’d definitely recommend giving In The Gleaming Light a read!

Thank you H.R. Moore for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review.
As a reader who rarely reads sci-fi, this book was out of my comfort zone but I am happy to say that I ended up enjoying this so much more than I anticipated!
The story is told through various perspectives which I enjoyed because it made it harder to depict the twists and turns. I also love reading different POVs so I enjoyed that we got to know all the characters.
This book is set in the year 2048 and includes different technology such as robots as butlers which I found so cool! The author is very creative in the way she includes contemporary political and social issues. There was also some romance and I think this is what made it more entertaining for me.
I really enjoyed that it was realistic. I could honestly see our future lives in some aspects of this book which is kind of scary. I recommend you pick this up if you’re into sci-fi with some romance. Or even if you're a beginner of sci-fi!

This is a little bit of a departure from my usual fantasy romance genre, but the idea of universal basic income captured my imagination and I had to write a story about it! This book is more book club fiction than sci-fi. There's no heavy tech and the focus is on the relationships and political scheming of the characters. There's also a love story (because I hate reading books without one!).
I really hope you enjoy exploring our possible future as much as I did!

I'm sorry but it's more like a 2.75 star. I just couldn't get into, they brought in new characters half way through the book. And my biggest problem was the spaces between the periods and the start of a new sentence. And I hardly see the robots that do the day to day jobs that they took over

automation, good or bad?
A fascinating exploration of the impacts of automation and UBI. Humans don't handle complete idleness very well. And there will always be those who are greedy.

- In the gleaming light, H R Moore
This was my first Sci-fi book. And, I have been thinking to try some. Thanks, @hr_moore for this free review copy.
.
This was something very different genre from my interest. The most intriguing was that of Robots to take over our jobs and so this made me read this book. And, really I am happy to give Sci-fi a chance to be included in my interest.
.
.
The story is written from a different perspective of society. Firstly, I really like the writing style. Sober characters with complicated jobs living in the generation of robots. As we all know, these days we don't even get time for ourselves in the situation of competition and livelihood. Robots are essential to do our jobs which restricts us from having some time for ourselves also things were made more easier and faster. The only problem comes when Robots are seen to develop some feelings.
I bet you can finish it in one go with 168 pages. Especially, when you will be made to think about the future. Robots will be dominant and technology will rule our lives. We will be its slaves because we cannot do efficient work as they can be just we have to command them.
The Story revolves around the protagonist named Guy Strathclyde and Lulu Banks. Guy is the manufacturer of robots whereas, Lulu is against them. They both have a good relation which leads to the war between an investigator Iva and Thomas with Guy.
I am glad to read this book and will be looking forward to books that will make me think of the future. I also liked the description of the usage of change in technology for several other things like taking an apartment on rent. Then a robotic car.
The lifestyle has changed in this decade so much that I am afraid we will be dependent on robots no matter what. Even though we try to constrain it within a limit, we cannot control the needs of humans which is going on expanding with an increase in human population, drastic hectic lifestyle and pollutions.
Book rating: 5/5 just because being a standout in the market and making people think of the future.

"you thought you were there anonymously. The problem is,
nothing’s really anonymous any longer; there’s always a way to be
traced"
This sentence right there gave me goosebumps and creeped me.
The story is set in England sometime in 2040s, where almost everything is fully automated, and influenced by artificial intelligence, where robots have made life easier.
Iva is a senior investigator at enforcement office and wants to bring down Guy, believing that her beloved was murdered at the hands of corporate enthusiasts. Guy is a corporate mogul and hopelessly in love with Lulu - a social artist. He has helped Lulu long before he had known her or vice versa. Where Guy was handed down wealth, Lulu paved her way in through hard work and struggle.
In the Gleaming light is a Sci-fi tainted with corporate politics and a twist of romance!

'part thriller' Really? Did not feel like it.
I was tempted to stop reading the book but I find it difficult to not finish a book so i finished it anyway.
I found it to be fairly boring and not in any way thrilling. It is filled to the brim with political views(fairly comprehensive both sides) which just do not interest me.
Glad its over, on to a new book!
