Weak point: A Novella about Privacy

MySui announces the release of the techno-thriller novella, "Weak Point," written by author Ayedh H. Alqahtani. The novella is fast-paced; he calls it "one breath read" because the writing style is fast-paced soft science fiction that captures the energy and glamour of Hawaii.

It addresses individual privacy in a world full of high-definition video technology. The supremely philosophical novella is set in Hawaii; its events focus on an American woman named Charlotte, a former employee of an intelligence agency who was tasked with monitoring foreign students at US universities, and Abdullah, a former foreign graduate student in the United States. It is rife with rich conversation between the two characters. By way of gradual confessions, Charlotte reveals the ins and outs of how Abdullah's entire life was monitored during his time in the United States-much to the shock of the former graduate student. The book can be found at amazon website.
