Foreword
Have you ever wondered if you live a life similar to those within your social circles? Does it ever cross your mind to imagine if your daily experiences have any resonance to your contemporaries? What does the real or imagined sight of the proverbial green grass trigger within you? Are you one of those people who can switch off from the digital age for long periods during the day without feeling left out or do you go into panic if you haven’t logged into your socials for more than an hour at a time?
We live in an age where the digital realm is truly an extension of our reality. The allure of the online world is undeniable: connection, convenience, and endless possibilities. But as Nicholas Okumu’s Shadows Behind the Screen starkly reveals, this digital utopia can be an addictive mirage, concealing a darker underbelly. Okumu, with his keen eye for societal intricacies, paints a vivid portrait of Nairobi, a metropolitan melting pot of tradition and modernity. Through the lens of a Dr. Andrew, we are thrust into a world where the familiar facade of the online self masks a complex interplay of power, deception, and vulnerability.
This completely fictional book is a realistic exposition of how art imitates life and how life can imitate art. It tries to portray how fraught our interconnected world is with immeasurable dangers, and the double edges of excitement and caution that we must embody while in it. How can we draw on the real connections that the offline world gives us to navigate the online ones better?
Get immersed in this gripping tale and enjoy the ride, its thrills and its spills like I did.

Snippet 1: The Kidnapping
“As we prepared to move on to the next stage of the evening, everything became a blur. Why was the world slipping away in a haze? My last memory was of her laughing at my jokes, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Then, darkness.”
Snippet 2: The Sniper’s Skill
“Phantom squeezed the trigger gently, feeling the rifle’s recoil as the bullet sped towards its target. It was a shot few could make, traversing an incredible distance with pinpoint accuracy. The bullet shattered the window, dropping him instantly.”
Snippet 3: A Frantic Call
“This is Marcus,” the voice said, barely above a whisper. “I need your help. They’re going to kill me.” Omondi straightened in his chair, the fatigue of a long day suddenly forgotten. Marcus. The name was unfamiliar. “Who are you?” he asked, his voice steady. “I know you’re the investigating officer on the doctor’s case,” Marcus replied hurriedly. “I have information that can help you. But you need to protect me.”
Snippet 4: The Master’s Revelation
“He looked up at me and nodded, he could never quite hide the disdain he had for me, I would never be enough for the great Thuku Waweru, billionaire titan who allegedly was friends with the president. We briefly sneered at each other.”
Snippet 5: The Architect’s Reflection
The Architect, sat in her opulent office, reflecting on the tumultuous events of the past few months. Business was booming once again, and the investigations that had threatened her empire had been deftly silenced.”
