An interesting dystopian novel depicting a world without nation-states, and everyone relying on corporations for their day to day needs. Great review.

The amount of detail in the writing really makes you feel part of the story; it draws you in. This type of genre is right at the top of my list. I can't wait to read more!

Great Review!! Looking forward to giving this book a try. I've been looking to reading something a little more serious and action-packed scene. This one looks interesting. Thanks

I absolutely love dystopian novels. George Orwell's 1984, and Huxley's Brave New World are in my top 15 favorite books. This book sounds like it contains elements from both in a new age, modernized twist. Thanks for the great review!

A futuristic dystopia. The collapse of the economy. And an agent on a mission. Hopefully, that can be curtailed. Very interesting.
Thanks for the review.

I'm thinking if I should continue this book, though I like the plot, it's quite long. Welll, you changed my perspective with your review. Thanks!

It's interesting what we could figure out if we project our selves into a foreseeable future and examine where we are headed. I'm not so sure I'd give this book a read, but the sample I read was pretty intriguing and this review seems to have done the book full justice. :clap:

I just read a futuristic novel that left a bitter taste in my mouth. The plan was to steer clear of similar novels for a while, but you've changed my mind. Since this is August's BOTM, I might as well dive in. Thank you for the review! :D

I love dystopian/science fiction that addresses the direction in which current society is heading. I'm especially intrigued by the idea of replacing the "nation" concept with corporations, and it makes me wonder how law and law enforcement work in such a world. The fact that there are assassins just makes me curious about that. Thank you for the very helpful review.

What is not to like of this book? A futuristic future of a collapsed world controlled by super corporations? This will be a fun exciting read. It is almost as it could really happen to our real world. Makes you think about what future will wait for us. Congrats.

Sounds an interesting dystopian novel in which the author presents a eerily picture of the world in 2058. Great review.

Dystopian novels always freak me out but for some reason I really want to try this out as it sounds really interesting.

This book's theme may seem like a far-off reality, but modern society is slowly transforming into one ruled by few corporations. A time when the full force of this movement will take root is one I dread seeing.
