Understated funny guy, this one:
ESCAPE READING: On the recommendation (as mentioned earlier) of several readers, I’ve been reading through Jay Allan’s Crimson Worlds novels. Set in an America that has become a corrupt state, run by an inbred political class drawn from just a few select universities and overseeing a populace of “cogs” who have no real legal protection against the state, while the civil government is sharply divided from the military, these science fiction books provide an excellent source of escapism from the unpleasant realities of today.
It can be scary how close that some science fiction can predict the future – but usually in the technology area.
It’s even scarier when it actually happens in a social manner.
