Flee or Die by Robert Dukelow
If the works of George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Isaac Asimov appeal to you, this might be the book for you. Does the idea of a chip implant by the government to ensure you are happy because you can only make right decisions seem plausible if it is not already reality. Technology is advancing so fast that what the author intended to be a work of fiction was being overtaken by reality, chapter-by-chapter, every few weeks. What sets this book apart from similar science-fiction is its humor and humanity. Advance readers fell in love with a quirky robot.
Can an android become a born-again Christian? Many of the characters in this book say it is impossible. Most people who have read Flee or Die now accept the premise that it is possible.
Once advanced computers rule the world, can they be persuaded to relinquish complete control over humans? What argument would cause the computers to return free agency to the humans?
Is one woman strong enough to defy her mother and change the course of history even while the government is trying to kill her? Where will she find refuge?
Can one renegade robot overcome the government's prohibition against religion and proselyting? How can it survive?
If the forced consumption of unremitting pornography is destroying a large segment of humanity, what will it take to reverse this menace to the existence of mankind? Will the purveyors of this plague forego their billions without a fight?
This is a fictional book, written for entertainment. The serious questions posed throughout this novel might cause you to wonder how long it will take before reality overtakes the speculation of our world in the near future. These questions bothered one advance reader so much that she wrote the author a scathing rebuke for seriously damaging her world view. The nice thing about you not having your mandatory chip implant today (well, at least when this book was first published) is you can lay it down at any time if you don't like it. Caution, you still might find it hard to forget.
