Our Lady of the Artilects by Andrew Gillsmith

Writer's picture: Gibbo thegreatGibbo thegreat

The story is based 200 years in the future where Artilects (next-generation androids) care for our every need, but all is not well when they start having visions of apocalyptic nature and one is reported of being possessed!!.


When I found out about "Our Lady of the Artilects" I was intrigued, by a touch of Sci-Fi and religion I knew I had to read it.


Having finished it I can say that I enjoyed it, there were a few elements that went over my head but I soldiered on and am glad I did.


I'm Catholic and I don't actively practice it but I've always been intrigued about it, especially miracles and the best example of it is the story of our lady of Lourdes. Between February 11 and July 16, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared eighteen times to fourteen-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in that small town located in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains of southern France.


That's from Google BTW lol.


The Virgin Mary gave Bernadette three 'visions' two have already been released but the third has still to be released to the world although much has been speculated about it.


The main element of the story is about the third vision which I believe the author has done a splendid job of blending technology with religion.


A great debut and looking forward to reading more from him.


Many thanks to Andrew for a copy for reviewing.
