Publisher Description
Love in the Time of Caller ID
Jackie Paper is a hot shot developer who hopes to strike it rich when he creates a wildly popular music sharing app. What his investors don't know, and what our hero can't confess, is that his program is also a means of contacting extraterrestrials. Jackie is sure they are out there. Waiting for our call.
The Empty Spaces may be considered "start-up fiction." It is a novel that connects the business of chocolate with the pervasiveness of smartphones, their link with marijuana, a failed IPO, songs from The Beatles and dashed hopes of becoming president. And aliens.
Brian S Hall is a writer and technology analyst. He is an expert on how smartphones and the mobile web are remaking markets, industries, communities and lives around the world. No person on Earth writes more about smartphones. "The Empty Spaces" is his first novel.
Customer Reviews
An app that changes the future! A modern page-turner.
Reading this book made me really happy. How smart phones change the future, connecting truly everything, but still we stay human.
When I first read this novel, I had no idea this was his first book. I searched for a wiki with more characters and details and I found the author's smartphonewars blog. I was so excited to read this is the first in a trilogy!

A very solid first effort, worth reading
I bought this book for a few reasons:
I wanted to support Brian's blog.
I wanted to try reading a book on my iPhone.
I enjoy Brian's writing on his blog.
I enjoy this type of fiction
I needed something to read on a few flights.
Reading a book on an iPhone is far from ideal, yet even so, I found it hard to put down.
I can't say that it is a great work, but it is a good read, and very enjoyable.
I have suggested it to a few friends.
I will buy his next book for one reason only, I am looking forward to reading it.
Well done Brian!
