Blind Spots is a highly inventive, gritty thriller. It is a detective novel set in a dystopian future where everyone has gone blind following a global disaster. The story follows the lead detective, Mark Owens, still grieving the loss of his artist wife, as he tries to make sense of the nonsensical. Mullen yields a creative, taut plot that leaves you reeling. This is a very entertaining and thought-provoking read ⬇

36/150 In the future, everyone is blinded, then technology, called Vidders, allows electronic signals straight to the brain which let's people "see" again. I liked the premise, and the kind of PKD take on what's real and what's not if people can manipulate what the Vidder shows them. I thought the book dragged at several points, spending too much time in flashbacks to events that happened during The Blinding. The conclusion was a bit weak ⬇️⬇️

This original dystopian future thriller captivated me from start finish! A global event called The Blinding rendered the world blind. Now, years later, the technology that has enabled people to “see” may have a weakness. With great world-building, character development & an exciting plot, this one is sure to spark some lively discussion between its readers (and spouses of its readers, judging by the fun I had with my husband telling him about it!)
