Genre: Dystopia,
Post-Apocalyptic, Science Fiction
Blurb:
In a world where data is power, one man must choose between
corporate success and the fight for freedom…
August Remules is a rising star in the mega-conglomerate
that houses nearly all of the world’s data. While his years in IT have taught
him not to ask too many questions, a fateful interview could take him all the
way to the top of the corporate ladder… or send his family crashing down.
Niklas Soderstrom has worked with August for years, but he
has far less trust in a system rigged for those at the top. When his friend
ventures into the heart of the corporate jungle, Niklas realizes his influence
on the data that drives society could turn the tide in a growing resistance…
August’s new position of power seems too good to be true,
but it also puts him at odds with Niklas and the people he loves the most.
August and Niklas have no choice but to summon their courage to save their
friends, their family, and the system that keeps civilization alive…
Peak Democracy is the first book in a fast-paced near-future
dystopian trilogy. If you like corporate drama, nuanced characters, and future
worlds crafted from current socio-political issues, then you’ll love G.D.
Leon’s eye-opening trilogy.
My Review:
Peak Democracy is set in the near future and is about a man
that is on his way to the top. He works for a company that holds almost all of
the world’s data a company called The Holding. Almost everyone is in debt with
The Holding. Almost everyone owes money and will be in debt all their lives.
When they borrow the money they give up their freedom to these companies.
The companies know everything there is to know about them
and they listen in on all conversations or at least they can if they choose to
do so. Different groups/cells are forming to prepare people to fight for their
freedom and to hopefully one day take their lives back from The Holding.
One man August Remules works for The Holding and is offered
a new job in the company he would like to refuse as it will cause him to have
travel and be away from his family. This new job would pay more and hopefully
August could have his family out of debt before he retires. August knows he can’t
refuse the job as it could cost him more than he is willing to pay like his
family. What will August do? Will he take the job? Does he really have a
choice?
Peak Democracy is filled with lots of suspense that will
keep you hanging on trying to figure out where the characters are going to take
you next. It is so very intriguing with all the technology. I can’t wait to check
out the rest of the series to see where the characters take us next in the
world of Data is Power. Peak Democracy left me hanging for more waiting for the
next book in the Data is Power, Manhunt: The Power to Restore Civilization.
I would recommend Peak Democracy to anyone who likes to read
about future worlds, corporations and technology.
