The Digital Dystopia is Coming
by Steve Bellinger
Matty Williams’ retirement as a computer tech goes awry when he and his girlfriend Divvie discover that new social technologies are subtly affecting the minds of their users. As they delve deeper into the technological marvels revolutionizing the lives of virtually everyone on the planet, they are set on a course that leads directly back to their employer, Roydon Technologies.
Now there’s the latest gadget, augmented reality glasses known as “Augies,” that can literally recreate reality for the user, all controlled by the ruthlessly efficient global computer system with the deceptively reassuring name of NANA. Will Matty, Divvie, and their super geek friend, Howard, save humanity from a life of programmed subservience, or will their attempt to thwart NANA result in something even worse?

REVIEW

5.0 out of 5 stars The here and now?
I really enjoyed this novel. It is a book, that if I was still teaching high school students, would be an excellent choice of having them see what could happen due to their dependency on technology. The author weaved present-day reliance on cell phones, addiction to electronic games, and the future that we could face as a society if a madman had so control of NANA. ( You will have to read the book to see who or what is NANA.) Suffice to say that this is a great little piece of literature and would make an excellent film.
MEET THE AUTHOR
Steve was born and raised on the West Side of Chicago by a single mom who worked nights for a printing company. She would bring home books and magazines to encourage him to read. This is how he discovered Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke and the other masters of classic science fiction. It didn’t take long for him to get the itch to write. Over the years he’s written everything from newspaper articles, comic strips and radio drama to short stories and fan fiction.
