18 Julio 2024 - 10:00AM
Fans of prophetic-feeling dystopian fiction like George Orwell’s
1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World will want to check out NSB
by Rus Duncan. Part science fiction, part political thriller, and
teeming with heart-pounding action, NSB promises readers an
incredible ride through a not-so-distant future.
There is a catastrophic earthquake on the Pacific coast, three
dormant volcanoes erupt, and the subsequent climate disruptions
trigger a series of long, severe winters. The USA is in chaos;
there is no longer any electricity, internet, phones, food, or
transportation. The Federal government shuts down, Congress
suspends the constitution, and delegates authority to an oligarchy
calling themselves the Governing Committee who begin constructing
what are called Care Cities with totally automated housing for the
demoralized refugees. But there is a catch: you are required to
surrender your free will to LifeCare, an impersonal algorithm that
measures either compliance, or NSB, Non-Standard Behavior.
Arnie Hensley, Care City One’s senior software specialist,
agrees to leave the comfort of his automated lifestyle to find a
hacker that he believes represents a threat to the Care City system
and quickly discovers a sinister agenda that puts him in a race
against time to implement a software fix to save the people
‘outside’ the city that he has come to love.
NSB will appeal to fans of classic dystopian science fiction as
well as readers looking for compelling heroes who rise to challenge
hopeless-feeling situations. This page-turner is jam-packed with
thrilling adventure, nail-biting suspense, and a dash of
romance.
NSB is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and Barnes
and Noble.com.
