About this ebook

 No jobs. Robots took them. Citizens subsist on a basic income guarantee. They consume their lives in drug-fueled virtual reality gaming binges.

Ian Blake doesn't play games and he won't accept handouts. He needs to be productive and useful - but his creepy boss just fired the baby-saving hero and father of three.

Ian yearns to build his own robots now. But with a job offer in hand under his old boss in a government agency, he fights his family's callous material greed and his own self-doubt to build the future he thinks we all need.

So badly written, I kept laughing as I read this monstrosity. Everyone communicates by either yelling or simpering. The youngest child, at 9, is written as a retarded 3 year old, much like the main character. Do we really believe any man would sit there and do nothing as another man molested his wife and daughter in front of him? Read this at your own peril.... if you continue, there will be tears of shame and anger. You have been warned.

I like the simplistic style of storytelling that gets on with the story allowing the reader to fill in the backgrounds themselves. It's like a fable with a moral at the end and is uncluttered by long winded descriptions or dialogue. It's pared down to essentials and isn't tied to any particular time in history so makes the whole premise of the story believable. I like that.
