Award-winning journalist Lexie Logan wakes up in a hospital with absolutely no memory of the previous night. A former addict, she’s horrified to learn that the alcohol and drugs in her system could have killed her. But her years of sobriety make her certain she didn’t deliberately overdose—especially when an overeager detective decides she’s also guilty of murdering the only other person found at the scene. When her fellow journalists turn on her, and she becomes news fodder instead of a newsmaker, Lexie fights to remember The Forgotten Night, clear her name, and unmask the killer. But that won’t be easy when the people who created her technology are listening to her every move and will do anything to stop her from learning the truth. In a world increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence, humanity has traded safety for convenience, and J. T. Bishop has captured our future in words.
J. T. Bishop has produced a masterpiece in The Forgotten Night by combining conspiracy, murder mystery, and the current debate surrounding artificial intelligence. I love the way she infuses her plot with timely issues while showcasing a near future in which technological takeover is widely accepted. The tide of social opinion is controlled by the media, and Bishop demonstrates how easily it can be manipulated. The prevailing theme of the novel is distortion—nothing is what it seems. Convenience has allowed a technological monopoly to overtake human autonomy, while Lexie’s view of her own flaws has shaken her confidence and pushed her to succeed professionally even as she sees her personal life as a failure. I love a great conspiracy novel, and the twists and turns in The Forgotten Night did not disappoint.
