Wow, this seems a wonderful book talking of U.S future in 2058 where human beings have been turned only into consumers and not citizens. The world has been taken over by powerful super corporations who control everything.

A sci-fi novel about the future; about the fall of the United States. The storyline is too negative for me. It's not my type of read. Thanks for the review.

This sounds super scary, largely because it hits so close to him, especially during current climates in society and government. Every book I read now with themes like this literally scares me to death. So, there are horror novels, which I love...then there's this. This is more scary, I think. Thanks for your insightful review!

Cool, another sci-fic book! I am curious about a world just 40 years from now. "World, Incorporated" created a dark place that I wish we would never turn into :D

A mediocre and partisan government constantly on deadlock over the economy and social issues causes the fall of the United States. Blind faith in globalization makes corporations stronger than nation-states. National citizenship is obsolete. People are just consumers of supercorporations that take care of all of their needs. A registry collects all personal data.
For sure economy and social issues in our era are two inseparable twins affecting people.

This book sounds interesting. I like science fiction and action books. The fact that it also has dystopian elements also sounds fun. Also very glad to hear that the characters are also well written. Thanks for your review.

Good review. The plot sounds to be futuristic and also, a warning to the people living in this world. It's nice to know that the reviewer had thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It looks like I won't pick this, as I normally keep away from serious plots. Congratulations to the author for this captivating and error-free dystopian novel.

Thanks for an interesting review! Futurism is always really intriguing when being effected by authors. Much like fantasy, but of a modern sort that we can actually see happening in some future time. This book promises to be a great read!
