Somewhere in Israel, a mysterious explosion underneath the massive, recently-built Taylor Institute obliterates the building and triggers a search and rescue that uncovers strange and unexpected events. Four men tasked with solving the mystery join forces on a quest of epic proportions.
What follows is a deep spiritual search and discovery that has the potential to shatter our beliefs of our world and our universe.
As the men try to unearth the clues that may lead to the missing scientists’ disappearance, a powerful and unique set of computers is discovered. Through the use of these machines the men, with the help of computer experts, try to recreate the last moments before the explosion. What they discover instead will shock and transform them.
A quest to find out just what was going on beneath the ground turns into a theological discussion with the reader:
* Just what were the scientists trying to create in their secret lab?
* Did they succeed?
Follow the team, led by Arik and Yaron, and overseen by the powerful Mr. Taylor, as they uncover clues to solve the grand puzzle, and embark on a thought-provoking journey of self-discovery that applies to everyone who has questions about our universe.
The Virtual Lookalike is a fascinating philosophical science-fiction novel, in which the invention of a computer with infinite abilities is just the beginning. It is also the foundation that allows the creation of an environment similar to our own world. Thus, the book creates an all-inclusive parallel world with the same laws of nature, and leaves us wondering what would happen if, for example, due to a colossal malfunction, the driving force is cut off and as a result all the movement in that world − all the way down to the electrons − ceases.
Will time stop?
After letting the readers into its theoretical laboratory, the book leaves them to wander around in their own imagination and continue the experimenting as they see fit.
The Virtual Lookalike will leave you speechless as it mixes elements of theology and science fiction, as well as a mystery and humor to create what can only be called a new genre of book.The Virtual Lookalike: A philosophical SCI FI Novel Reviews

Now, if that’s not enough to get your curiosity juices flowing, I don’t know what will. But if you want to find out what happens, you’ll just have to turn the pages for yourself! However, I will say it was well worth the read. It’s my first time reading this author and I must say I was very impressed.
The story had every element a good story should have. A thought-provoking plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. There’s an abundance of well-illustrated scenes that make you feel like you are right there in the story, and that’s something I really look for in a good book.
I enjoyed the story, character development, and dialogue. There were plenty of plot twists that I didn’t see coming and that added to the book’s mystique. When I stopped reading to work, I found myself wondering what happened in the book, and replaying parts of the novel in my head to see if I could figure more out. It has been a while since I enjoyed a book this much.
This was a fascinating and captivating read that had me immersed from the beginning. The story flowed from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling. There are plenty of attention-grabbing moments in this page turner that will take the reader on a truly mesmerizing journey. -
