When tyranny is handsome and repression is with a smile, in an America where most are richer than ever, would you care about what has happened to those who have been sent away?
In 2045, people who lost their jobs to robots are taken care of in resorts where life is an endless vacation. For those still in work, the American dream has never been better.
Having suffered in the Time of Troubles, Justin Dempsey is a huge fan of the new system. Order over chaos.
Following an unexpected turn of events, he begins to discover the hidden reality of this brave new world.
With the help of his daughter, Mia, he plans how to expose the truth if he can remain undetected in a world of mass surveillance. Their adversary is the most powerful governmental machine in history with a plan of its own.
Can Justin and Mia stay alive long enough to get the word out, and would anyone believe them if they did?
A disturbing view of a future that could happen from the author of 'When the Water Runs Out'.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting theme; poor grammar
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018

I almost stopped reading this book shortly after I encountered so many grammatical errors (example - "Me and Al have become close". ) I was astounded to discover that the author had attended Cambridge! I would love to see this author progress to a higher level of readership, but it won't happen unless he employs a competent proofreader. Good ideas, especially the "pet translator". Please take a review course in basic English - your imagination is good.

The story was great, some of the characters, not so much. Hated to see the dog get killed. Can't believe some of tbe nerds weren't able to quickly by-pass some computer settings.

Loved it! The future possible for the USA! It seems the more technological advanced we become, the more we lose our humanity. Well done David Canford.

The first few chapters were really good. I couldn’t put it down. But then it’s like the author was in a hurry to finish up. You knew exactly what was coming.

1.0 out of 5 stars Essentially unreadable
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
The concept sounded interesting and the book was free so I decided to take a chance on it. Bad decision. The author's knowledge of basic language arts was severely lacking. Spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and word choice were abysmal. I can't understand why any e-book author would publish without benefit of a proofreader.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly terrifying roller-coaster of a ride which could easily become reality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2018

A truly terrifying roller-coaster of a ride which could easily become reality. A robotic society where greed and corruption at the top level of government rules society to its detriment. It affected me to the point where I was dreaming about it. The story was fast paced and compelling.

I like the versatility in the subject matter of this author - you never know what he will come up with next. Looking forward to his next book.

This was an enthralling read. - most of all because the plot line could so very easily take the short step from fiction to reality. Apathy, doing nothing, is indeed the enemy.
