The Fake Among Us by Samuel Ludke

A mind-bending novella that will have readers questioning their own grasp on reality, The Fake Among Us by Samuel Ludke is a sci-fi action thriller like few others. A twisted tale of “resetting” one’s reality and the dangerous power that technological progress can hold, this story sees a lawman bent and broken by a sinister scientist, proving that the line between human and robot is not as clear as we might imagine. Despite the intriguing premise, the execution needs significant work, as the writing is plagued by repetitive language, stilted dialogue, unclear scene cuts, and basic proofreading errors, which is a shame, as the core story is highly original.
