ATLAS DIED BY MICHELLE N ONUORAH is a dystopian novel set in 2628 USA. Its a USA that we would not recognize, or would we? All rights are abolished and minor infractions could mean being shot or sent to the Gauntlet to die. Freedom of speech freedom of assembly freedom of religion are gone. You either are the rich wealthy living on Atlas or you work for them working in the poorer sections of the USA. Police protect the wealthy no one else. You, unless wealthy are forced to eat genetically modified food and paid meager wages to support the wealth. One man Decker Channing knows this is not how the US is supposed to be because he reads history. And after getting fired as a Police officer he's mad enough to say the time has come to change the USA back to what its supposed to be.
I found this book very dark vision of the country we ALL love & found it amazingly scary as to what possibilities our country COULD come to. I have never read any of this authors books but I think I need to start searching for more of them. My husband called it 1984 on steroids!
I received this book from goodreads in exchange for a review.
