Mark Simkins has written a darkly humorous and sometimes quirky novel about a possible future of our species. It is about a journey through an intriguing and frightening prospect of a critically paranoid view of the day after tomorrow.
Written with uniquely spiritual and metaphysical overtones, the manuscript reminds the reader of George Orwell's 1984. It also brings to attention a mixture of many writers such as Phillip K Dick, Kurt Vonnegut, and other fiction writers who have exposed their readers to the gloomy possibility of a government controlled society.
In a future society with the existence of electronic surveillance overtones it comes to a conclusion for an extension of a possible AI drone-supported society. There is indeed a realistic argument backed by a weak and sleepy populace and the always growing social acceptance of a subjugated and secretly empowered police state.
Starting out in a very near future society in 2017 the author creates a story about the beginnings of the actual catalyst that seemingly has forced our government to overwhelm the population with control of our emotions, and thoughts, and even our internal decision making apparatus known as our rational thinking. With crime at a virtual standstill the PLIMID-controlled society not only monitors everyone but it seeks to control their behaviors by the creation of the all-powerful Lawyers Guild.
