This book is a welcome addition to a long and illustrious line of dystopian fiction in the vein of Brave New World, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451.
This is an important work highlighting the risk we face when any aspect of governmental power becomes un-criticizable. For instance, today the worst thing that could happen to a politician would be to be tagged with the epithet "racist." Therefore when government acts in the name of anti-racism it is near impervious to most any objection, as anyone who would complain is labelled as a narrow-minded bigot. And so, unfettered by criticism, the government's power grows.
Scott Wilson takes this observation to its ultimate extreme by creating a dystopian totalitarian nation founded upon the ideal of anti-racism.
Book Description
Populist Huey Long once said that when fascism comes to America it'll come in the guise of anti-fascism. And in America in the year 2048 that is just what has happened. Multiculturalism, praised by many contemporaries, has become an absolute and indomitable force in a future where a tyrannical regime hands down the ultimate penalty to anyone accused of politically incorrect actions or attitudes.
Liam Eustace is a lonely corporate nobody struggling to get by day-to-day in a world that rejects him. But when he’s mistakenly identified as a seditious military rogue he becomes swept up in a maelstrom of danger, deception and intrigue. Suddenly, Liam finds himself among a motley crew of rebels and patriots, not knowing whom to trust, and in possession of secret information that could bring down the most powerful man in the nation. He’s scared, desperate and running for his life in a utopia that’s more Hell than Heaven.
