On what measures will you pick up a book?

Because of the cover? Maybe because of the recommendation. But perhaps, the very major reason behind picking up a book is because of a compelling and engaging storyline. I mean, what is the benefit if a book cannot keep you glued to its pages.

From the complex and relative characters to the many twists and turns, various themes, and unanswered questions, a good book has the capability to keep you entertained and captivated for a long—long time after you actually have finished reading the book!

Speaking of books, it is no wonder that selecting a compelling book is quite challenging, especially when you have plenty of titles to choose from. From non-fiction and fiction to modern mysteries and dramatic thrillers, there are many compelling titles that are so good to read.

But have you ever stumbled upon a Techno-Medical Thriller?    

A techno-medical thriller is a modern literacy genre that combines modern technology with thrilling and suspenseful medical elements. Such books are great because they are different from other genres that constantly offer the same repetitive themes and storylines. The story of a techno-medical thriller is based on a hybrid genre drawing inspiration from science fiction, thrillers, spy fiction, action, war novels, and, of course, the medical world. They usually contain a myriad of technical details on their subject matter that tend towards a comparable level of supporting detail on the human aspect.

From AI to the advancements and limitations of scientific experimentation, murder, mystery, and crime, a techno-medical thriller or suspense novel is something that is impossible to overlook.

Talking about techno-medical thriller, there is one title that indeed keeps you glued till the very last page – a book that surpasses this genre and goes beyond your expectations – an experience that will leave you flabbergasted – for good: “Contraptions.”

“Contraptions” by Jeffrey Weinzweig is a techno-medical thriller that throws you headfirst into a murder mystery, but one with many twists. The crime scene in the bustling heart of New York City’s Washington Square Park sets the stage for a mystery. The victim? A surgeon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions and a framed suspect: Ojo Jenachukwu, an inventor brimming with ingenuity.

But Ojo isn’t just a suspect. He and his partner, Derek Cannon, are a dynamic duo who rely on their custom-built “contraptions” for everything from everyday tasks to, in this case, proving Ojo’s innocence.

Prepare to be horrified and intrigued as “Contraptions” delves into the shadowy world of NEXUS, a nefarious organization pushing the boundaries of science and ethics.

NEXUS is playing God with a side of cruelty, and Ojo and Derek stumble right into the middle of this twisted experiment. The beauty of “Contraptions” lies in its chilling blend of medical suspense and high-tech elements. Weinzweig’s background as a surgeon adds a layer of horrifying believability to the meticulously detailed descriptions of NEXUS’s illegal research.

But amidst the darkness, there’s a spark of hope. Ojo and Derek’s inventions go beyond detective tools—these are ingenious contraptions designed to outsmart and outmaneuver NEXUS within their hidden lab, aptly named Sector 13.

Similar to any great science-fiction film, but dominated by ingenious gadgets, “contraptions,” that can gather evidence, infiltrate secure facilities, and even deliver a dose of much-needed sarcastic wit and humor – this techno-medical thriller will surpass your expectations.

Moreover, Weinzweig doesn’t shy away from the ethical complexities of the story. Be it the violation of human rights, the grotesque results of the experiments, or the potential global consequences of NEXUS’s plan raise unsettling questions, “Contraptions” has it all. Not only does it tell a completely different story, but it also introduces us to a charming cast of main and supporting characters. From the brilliant but slightly eccentric inventor, Ojo, to his grounded yet adventurous partner, Derek, and the smart and beautiful Christine, demonstrating that even in the face of monstrous experiments, nothing can outsmart friendship and ingenuity, not even danger.
