No Boundaries by PG Cartwright is neither a novel nor a thesis; it has its own unique flavor. Instead, you will follow Jie-Won as he looks for a world with no boundaries. A world where there is no disparity between rich and poor, single and married, between man and woman, foreigners and nationals, no boundaries anywhere in the world. Jie-Won managed to overcome many of his boundaries until he married Hye-jin. But Hye-jin doesn’t love him. No matter where he goes, no matter what he does to provide for her, she stays apart from him emotionally and mostly physically too. Jie-Won even goes to the extent of taking his wife to a new country, but although things improved a little Jie-Won began to wonder how he could achieve his dream of a society with no boundaries. A country with no boundaries – airports in chaos as passengers queue up without visas for planes that will never take off. Is Jie-Won responsible for this? Can the world really exist peacefully without any boundaries?
No Boundaries by PG Cartwright is a rather profound book. This is a visionary story, a story that has many parallels with the world we live in today with some of them being total opposites. Tunnels under the Mexican border and a completely opposite view to the current travel bans in place are just two examples, along with hacking and the Internet of Things. The book does raise the question – are we all being brainwashed? Are we forced to live by rules or do we choose to? And really, should we live in a boundary-less world? Would it be a better place? This is an interesting read, very well written and ideal for fans of fantasy visionary stories but not if you are just looking for a light read – that it certainly isn’t!
