The Song of Synth Seb Doubinsky Books

There’s always a multitude of books sitting on my to-be-read pile and a lot of these are writers are new to me. One of these figures is Seb Doubinsky. He posts a lot of free poetry online and is supportive of a lot of writers in general. I finally dug into his novel Song of Synth and didn’t realize how damn good this guy is until now.

Markus Olsen is an ex-hacker who is forced to work for the state’s secret service. He starts taking a potent drug known as Synth. It’s relatively new and induces incredibly vivid hallucinations. Matter of fact, I wish I could get my hands on a baggie full of synth.

Olsen’s past as an anarchist pops back up in the form of a weird credit card that shouldn’t exist. He’s tasked with solving the mystery and let’s just say things become mad interesting. He stops taking Synth, but he still feels the effects and the hallucinations begin to bleed over into his reality. Real trippy ish.

The rest of the book is too good to reveal and I’m not for spoiling a good ride. All of the comparisons I heard about Doubinsky being a modern-day Philip K. Dick are on point. However, Doubinsky has surely carved out his own lane.

Doubinsky’s prose is poetic and crisp. At first I thought it would slow down the pace of the book, but I ripped through the pages and finished it within a couple days.

The Song of Synth is a trippy yet beautiful exploration of what it means to be human in world obsessed with technology, entertainment, and any means of escaping reality. This is one pill you need to pop.

The Song of Synth Seb Doubinsky Books Reviews

I read this book in an earlier edition but wanted this one as well. BUY AND READ THIS BOOK. Doubinsky is a daring, singular writer who takes risks with his prose yet always anchors it to his characters. Sometimes raw, sometimes strange, sometimes startling, Take a chance and be shocked and roughly delighted.
Yes it is a wonderful book.
This is a pawn of worship to druggie fantasies. I hoped for something intelligent to happen, but was always disappointed.
Synth distorts. It enfolds. Consumes. In Doubinsky's paranoia-soaked SONG OF SYNTH, we mind trip in between artificial realities induced by a powerful new drug the origins of which no one seems to know. In here, memory reverberates and emotion echoes.

Doubinsky does this in a way like no other, with carefully executed orchestral punches. SOS lives in your brain like a mad bug laying eggs. Reading it changes you. Ignoring it is not an option. Powerful and compelling. In the same vein as the late, great Philip K. Dick.
After I read Seb Dubinsky's The Song of Synth, I had to wait a while to get down from the cloud of music, love, sorrow, loss and finding and drugs.
What a trip. At first Marcus Olsen didn't seem a character I wanted to follow if it was just about drugs. Ha! Quickly I realized he had much more
than that. It took a while to see him as heroic. He is, and I am mentioning this, because the first page might put you off; it is not what you think.
You are going to get a story woven like a flying carpet. Marcus Olsen has many names and a background to break your heart. I followed him from his past, his addiction, his lovers, his smashed hopes revived. But can he get through the perfume and music of Synth? It is like no other drug. It can lead to disaster. Marcus Olsen is a mask. Behind that mask is a tragedy that needs us to follow into the mazes of Synth, and maybe get a little
whiff of it, and where the tale is leading you on. OK, a pinch of Pynchon, but a minimal homage. So I waited after I read The Song of Synth, to get my own mind returned with what? A darned good totally unique well written novel. If you like politics mixed with betrayal, music and beauty, and love beyond just sex, you will like The Song of Synth.
What do Peter Clines, Lauren Beukes, and Seb Doubinsky have in common? They are my favorite contemporary Science Fiction writers. What sticks out to me about Doubinsky is his ability to give me the same feelings I have when I read some of my favorite "older" (obviously relative) Science Fiction authors. Doubinsky has this way of channeling PK Dick or Matheson which gives me this calming feeling when I read him.

Anyways, The Song of Synth. An alternate time In Viborg City. Markus Olsen is a white hat hacker against his will after being caught taking down an important government satellite. He is miserable and still dwells on his arrest. He's addicted to a hallucinogen called Synth which is making it increasingly difficult for him to determine what is real and what is a hallucination. He is becoming more frustrated with his situation by the day. While investigating a hacker for Viborg City he discovers a book called the The Potemkin Overture that motivates him to do more about his stasis. Investigating the origin of the book lead him to meeting someone from his past and he decides to make a run for it. His departure takes you to the second half of the book. Olsen goes undercover in a new land called Samarqand where he uncovers a lot about his past and aims for another new start.

The prose is beautiful. Doubinsky is a master of saying so much minimally. One of my favorite lines is "the synth stretched in him like a satisfied cat". The dialog is straight and to the point. While this book is actually long for Doubinsky it likely would've been soooo much longer in another authors mind. There are deep layers of political nuance throughout the book. If you like your science fiction interesting with a creative literary flavor then I suggest The Song Of Synth.
