In this starkly terrifying political thriller, Winston Smith is a young, successful producer of patriotic commercials for the Department of Homeland Security. While working to fulfill his dream of making a contemporary film version of 1984, he runs afoul of government censors, is forced to stand trial in a nightmarish courtroom, and faces brutal execution in a privatized prison. Rescued by a mysterious, powerful young woman and a band of teenage computer hackers, he joins the Resistance and becomes swept up in a deadly struggle to undermine his government's stranglehold on power and information.
As it conjures up a frightening - and highly controversial - vision of the future, Dawn Blair's gripping novel of American dystopia lays bare the most incendiary political issues of the present day.
"This is a hell of a story, deftly-written, with a wacky, delicious sense of humor...a clever and imaginative understatement of the crazy world in which we now live." - Frank McCourt, author of "Angela's Ashes"
"The Bush Administration's relentless assault on civil liberties lends a haunting realism to this gripping fiction. It is a frightening tale of where this government's erosion of our Constitution might take us if allowed to continue." - Professor Linn Washington Jr., civil rights columnist for the Philadelphia Tribune
