ENWORLD IBD

Sinopse

'JamesâÇÖ novel, a blend of speculative fiction, satire, and thought experiment, explores themes of identity and morality. . . . JamesâÇÖ literary loop-the-loops result in a fun, brainy read. Entertaining and inventive storytelling.'-Kirkus Review (Received 'Get it' Verdict)A World Ruled by Algorithms and AmbitionFrom his palatial Lexington Avenue office, Satan recruits one of his up-and-coming devils to play a role in his ultimate masterpiece: EnWorld, a giant utopian dome, a world where freedom is traded for the promise of perfection, and individuality is crushed by the relentless march of progress. Inside, data-obsessed leaders manipulate every aspect of life. The perfect environment and social order are in place. Or so it seems.When Tre-the Phantom Girl-reemerges from an initial defeat, the EnWorld order is thrown into question. Her rebellion shakes even Stephen the Third, the last clone of EnWorldâÇÖs tyrannical founder, now torn between his predecessorâÇÖs legacy and a budding sense of guilt. TreâÇÖs defiance awakens dormant memories of a freer past, triggering a roller coaster chain of events.A searing satire and a rallying cry, EnWorld exposes the seductive dangers of totalitarianism in the modern age and the fragile line between good and evil. For fans of Orwell, Huxley, and Bradbury, EnWorld pushes further into a future that mankind must avoid. As Orwell said, 'DonâÇÖt let it happen.''EnWorld is a seamless extension of the poetry of Leland James. It is stunningly creative, philosophically expansive, and has dense language and sophisticated story lines, drawing you into an all-embracing examination of morality, reality, and the power of fiction. I highly recommend this book.'-Michael Linnard, MCSD, editor, Little Red Tree Publishing, LLC'Leland JamesâÇÖ EnWorld is a richly philosophical dystopian [novel] . . . an allegory of manipulation and power, demonstrating how history can be rewritten, free will can be undermined, and ideology can be used as a weapon. . . . JamesâÇÖ prose is incisive yet engaging, combining harsh social commentary with an immersive narrative. The story is intricate, weaving together many eras, points of view, and levels of intrigue.'-ReadersâÇÖ Favorite review, 5 stars'This is a polished, satirical examination of what evil truly means in our modern world. Sharp, witty satire sifting fiction, reality, and contemporary life.'á-PWâÇÖs Booklife
