It's a brave new world. In the far future, people no longer know what to believe...Did Kyle Straker ever exist? Or were his prophecies of human upgrades nothing more than a hoax? Peter Vincent is nearly 16, and has never thought about the things that Strakerites believe. His father - David Vincent, creator of the artificial bees that saved the world's crops - made sure of that. When the Strakerites pronounce that another upgrade is imminent, Peter starts to uncover a conspiracy amongst the leaders of the establishment, a conspiracy that puts him into direct conflict with his father. But it's not a good idea to pick a fight with someone who controls all the artificial bees in the world.

Wow, what an awesome sequel to 0.4. This book totally captivated me. I'm amazed at how much story is packed into what is a relatively short book. Thanks Mike Lancaster for giving us two books that are totally unlike anything I have ever read before. The whole story is so unique and I enjoyed every page. Would love to see a third book!
The first book in this series left me with SO many unexplained questions, and I can't say that this one really cleared anything up, but it was a good read. This isn't so much a sequel, it doesn't pick up where the last book left off, in fact the first book IS a book referred to by the characters in this one, like they have read it, just as we have. It's on the required reading list for the literature class in fact )
There is some title confusion with this series. The first book is called both "Human.4" and "0.4" ... and this book is called both "The Future We Left Behind" and "1.4" ... in fact BOTH titles are available ("1.4" is less expensive for some reason).
This book, like Human.4 has a very interesting premise. It leaves a lot of unanswered questions, but does bring up interesting points to ponder.
I borrowed this from my library, they had a digital edition, but not a edition. I DO so prefer (for highlighting text and such)!
Moving on to the second book in the series; 1.4 was published at the beginning of this month by Egmont and we find ourselves transported many many years into the future yet again. I'm not sure exactly how many years have passed, but it's definitely hundreds and quite possibly thousands. Earth has changed dramatically, life is led via The Link which is accessed in people's head. A little like our internet but without the need for the hardware, just log into your Link account (in your brain) and chat to your friends, order a new outfit, play games, listen to music - live life basically.
Peter Vincent is the lead character of 1.4, the son of a leading scientist who has created artificial bees. Peter's Mother left home 8 years ago, his father is cold and appears uncaring. Peter meets Alpha - a girl who lives the other side of town, and who believe in another way of life. Alpha is a Strakerite - she believes in the Kyle Straker Tapes, and believes that everything that is contained in 0.4 really happened. Peter's father is totally against Strakerites - he is a scientist and has appeared to prove that Kyle Straker did not exist and is a fictional character.
Peter discovers that his life, his history, his memories are not quite what they seem. As his world crumbles around him, he and Alpha must fight to protect their world.
1.4 is just as intriguing, as intelligently written and as exciting as 0.4, and again I can't go into more detail as it would spoil the reading experience for others. I've said before that science-fiction is not usually my thing, but these books have an ease about them that draws the reader in and doesn't let go until the final page is turned.
If you are a science-fiction fan you will love this series, if you don't think you are, please give them a go - I think you may get a pleasant surprise.
I loved this series. This book is my favorite of the two but both are definite must reads. Wonderful addition to any dystopian collection
