A Novel

Max Barry

This captivating novel tells the story of a secret school in Virginia where the art of persuasion is taught as a science. Students learn to manipulate minds by harnessing the hidden power of language and identifying psychographic markers. Those who graduate become influential "poets". Emily Ruff, a talented but love-struck prodigy, and Wil Jamieson, an innocent man caught in a secret war between rival factions of poets, become embroiled in a shocking world where the body count rises, and the world teeters on the brink of a Tower of Babel event. Max Barry's ambitious and spellbinding thriller will keep you turning the pages.

A bookstore had a sale on science fiction books. I brought Lexicon by @MaxBarry, first published in 2013. Just finished reading it. One of the best sci-fi books I have ever read. #SaturdayMotivation      source
