Review of 2084
1 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "2084" by Kadon Landon Peterson.]
The world is split into two main groups: NatOrg, the religious fanatics, and the WPA, who want to modify the DNA of the population to make humanity less human and more like robots by erasing their emotions, personalities, and individualities. In 2069 (Book One of the 2084 Trilogy) by Kadon Landon Peterson, readers will follow Dune and his human-fox hybrid girlfriend as they navigate their world, figuring out what it means to be human and how to preserve humanity.
In my opinion, the best aspect about 2069 is that there are two sides that are fighting, but the reader is not forced to choose which side is the best side just because of the main character's beliefs. Our hero doesn't agree with NatOrg or the WPA. It allows the readers to see the good and the bad from both sides, and I really enjoyed that. You can tell the author got his inspiration from a few different places, the most noticable being modern day politics. We have one side who makes their decisions based on their God, and the other side that puts all their faith into science.
There's nothing that I really disliked about 2069, except Peterson does tend to ramble at times. Occasionally I had to take a break from reading because of this, but mostly the ramblings were intriguing thoughts about politics, religion, and philosophy. I understand that many people don't like those topics and will even get into fights over those types of ideas, but I am extremely open-minded and it was nice to see a different viewpoint than I am used to in my personal life.
I rate this book 5 out of 5. It was nicely edited. The story was very engaging and went into a lot of detail that I felt like I was actually there. I look forward to reading the next two books in the trilogy.
I would say those whom would gain the most enjoyment from 2069 would be those who enjoy stories about dystopian societies and feel a little out of place in their daily lives or who have trouble choosing sides. I know I personally do not really agree with either of the main political parties in the world today, and I was able to connect with the main character, Dune, because of that fact. Also it would not be a good fit for those who get triggered easily, as there are depictions of sexual assault and violence.
