The Second Lives of Honest Men by John R. Cameron
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was sent a free copy of ebook for review by the author, for which I'm grateful.

It is an dystopian novel set in near future, where America is taken over by a private corporation as Government has failed to sustain the country. In this world People are so addicted to the Social Media/Technology and consumerism that they no more care about other people and their entire life is focused on being online and buying trendy worthless gadgets. It is mixture of 1984 plus time travelling.

This is a real page-turner. It reads fast, well, the dialogues are well-paced and engaging. However the story lacks details at times. I think the book gives a lot of insight into a very possible potential future by taking some elements of the past to compare the two almost extremes. The plot could have been little more developed in terms of characters and the world.

I definitely recommend this book.
