The Frequency Effect: Prepare to be woken Kindle Edition

by James Stark (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 13 ratings

We don't have much time.

Tatio dominates society. The company's ambition has been propelled by relationships with a group of brands called the global elite. Mowgli, its new AI operating system has captured people’s imaginations, but all is not what it seems.

Ben is missing. He believes the key to Tatio’s success dates back to a scientific discovery by electricity pioneer Nikola Tesla. He also isn't the only one to have discovered the truth.

Tatio has been tracking down anyone close to revealing the company's true motives. Data spies are everywhere.

You need to follow Ben's journey, find the others and expose the truth.

The journey provides a unique opportunity to enter his world. Interactive experiences bring the story to life in a uniquely immersive way. You can experience them as you go, at the end or use only your imagination.

I'm a writer, musician and creator from London. I conducted in-depth research into the book's themes to create a plausible and thought-provoking dystopian reality. The main inspiration for the story comes from a scientific finding first discovered by electricity pioneer Nikola Tesla.

I assembled a talented group of creators to create a uniquely immersive experience, not for the sake of it, but because it perfectly suits the narrative. The immersive elements allow you to become the main character in a way that has never previously been possible. You can experience his world as he does.

Understandably, being such a unique project, I wasn't sure exactly how all the elements would and should come together to be easy for the reader to navigate. This is why I originally launched it in Beta in 2016 and paid particular attention to the feedback from media who attended the launch and reviewers who mentioned some excellent additions to the story that I had been also considering. I then took a few years to edit and add them, before launching the final version in 2020 in line with the story's timeline.

Thanks to everyone who helped create it, and thank you for discovering it. I really hope you like it. Watch the trailer on YouTube or my author profile page.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A uniquely creative project full of ideas
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2017

    After seeing a TV interview I checked this out. A book that is difficult to describe in a four minute interview is certainly something completely new. At first it took a bit for my head to get around - like I think many people. Having said that, the way in which it works is actually very straightforward, and more importantly, fits with the story. That is the key point. The key element about technology addiction is delivered through the immersive elements and for that reason alone almost it has such huge potential. The key scenes really bring that out. For people who spend the time thinking about ideas like this in the first place, it is certainly worth commending.

    This is an amazing project that really brings the story to life through the immersive elements. With many twists and turns it brings to life a story that affects us all - our addiction to technology. Well worth a read.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea which just didn’t work for me.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 June 2017
    Format: Kindle Edition
    I have had this book on my bedside table for several months now and have been putting off the evil day when I had to start reading it. I had dipped into it on several occasions to get a flavour and just felt until now I was not ready or prepared to take the final plunge.

    The book is promoted as the “world’s first immersive, cinematic novel”. It took me a while to work out what that meant but I finally realised that throughout the story there were opportunities to connect with photographs, music and video to enhance the reading experience. Whilst I applaud the idea and the effort, it failed miserably for me. I read to escape. I read to allow my imagination to take over. Anyone’s imagination is more creative and more powerful than any film and I would never want to allow myself to be dictated to in terms of how I view a book I am reading. I also would not want anything to interrupt the flow.

    So, to the manuscript itself. The writing itself is clear and intelligent. It was perhaps a shame that a few spelling mistakes jarred me out of my focus and concentration. Clearly the manuscript had not been properly proof-read. Unfortunately, the writing was also flat. There was little tension and no change of pace. The whole plot was without emotion.

    The central figure is Ben who discovers The Frequency Effect and realises the power wielded by Tatio, a Chinese media company. Other characters flit in and then out so apart from Ben there is no foundation which means there are no foils or side-kicks. Maybe this was the reason that the storyline lacked power.

    The denouement was non-existent and the story ended with a whimper. It left me totally unsatisfied yet pleased I had climbed the mountain. The journey was over. Thanks goodness. Full marks for originality but C- for execution.

    I went to the premiere of The Frequency Effect and loved the immersive experience. The book continues that theme and draws you into the revelatory journey of the book's protagonist, Ben. Definitely an innovative take on the modern novel.

    A really interesting and thoughtful book about the impact of technology and social media on our society but also our state of mind, every day lives and expectations. I would definitely recommend thIs book to anyone who feels torn between wanting a break from the digital world around them but worried they may be missing out on something or will be left behind! I certainly felt 'woken' after reading this book.
