Electronic Gags: An American Dystopia

Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Nineteen Eighty-Four, ‘Electronic Gags’ presents a chilling portrait of a dystopian United States ruled by a tyrant. After a military coup, the United States of America becomes an autocracy. To tighten his grip on power, the president introduces a new surveillance system that can monitor people’s offline conversations. Privacy is officially dead. Freddie, unlike your everyday action hero, is not an agile ex-special forces operative. He is just a fat biologist who works in a wildlife refuge. But what he lacks in fitness and combat training, he has in brains. His life changes when the government arrests his best friend, Michael, for attending an opposition meeting. Michael’s mother accuses Freddie of betraying her son. Against all odds, Freddie must prove his innocence and save Michael from death row. The only way for Freddie to save Michael is to overthrow the government. But the government is watching him. It is watching everyone.
