Orwell's 1984 retold and set in America 2014
This sounds like a really interesting book. In America 2014, Dawn Blair tells the story of Winston Smith and a nightmare America ten years in our future. George W. Bush (here Blush) is in his fourth term as President and the United States are now known as God's United States.
Picture a totalitarian United States just ten years from now: With no end in sight to the War on Terror, a fourth-term President George Blush rules without restraint. The Constitution has been replaced with a “Patriotic Citizen’s Bill of Rights and Responsibilities” and America has been renamed “God’s United States.” The Blush Administration has finally “freed” America of its “treasonous” opposition party, “subversive” media and “obstructionist” judges.The link contains an excerpt of the book and the new Patriotic Citizens Bill of Rights and Responsibilities (Passed by Congress and Ratified in 2009). I'll be looking for this one at my local library.
In this starkly terrifying political thriller, Winston Smith is a young, successful producer of patriotic commercials for the Department of Homeland Security. While working to fulfill his dream of making a contemporary film version of 1984, he runs afoul of government censors, is forced to stand trial in a nightmarish courtroom, and faces brutal execution in a privatized prison. Rescued by a mysterious, powerful young woman and a band of teenaged computer hackers, he joins the Resistance and becomes swept up in a deadly struggle to undermine his government’s stranglehold on power and information.
As it conjures up a frightening--and highly controversial--vision of the future, Dawn Blair's gripping novel of American dystopia lays bare the most incendiary political issues of the present day.
