Thanks for the great review. Sci-fi dystopian books are always interesting to read. Set in the future, it makes one wonder about our own world. How will it be about 50 years from now? The plot is quite intriguing. Can't wait to read this one.

You had me at, " A number of powerful supercorporations took over the world. Human beings are no longer citizens of nations but rather consumers. The supercorporations control everything".

If we're not already there it certainly won't take another 40 --I'm thinking way less than 20-- years for us to be relegated to that unfortunate reality.

On the bright side -- your Agent Sliver teasers have got me curious enough to want to check this book out.

Thanks for the breakdown.

I do agree I believe it does have a Orwell feel to it essentially since we just thankfully rid ourselves of the election. The Founding Father's were correct in their thinking that no one person should have all the power. The tendency is the there for it to go directly to their heads.

Your review of "World, Incorporated" by Tom Gariffo is very enlightening and convincing. I love science fiction books with a little twist and action-packed. I must find time to indulge myself in it.

This my kind of read. The thrill that comes with every assassin's assignment is just what want me to read it. Great review.

The scenarios put forth in this story definitly sound like something our future could turn into! We already rely so much on corporations for all of our needs and our social structure is already starting to be questioned!

I'm not generally into reading action packed thrillers, but this novel sounds intriguing!

This book sounds scary with too many conditions resembling our state of affairs right now. I'm afraid there is a big chance of it becoming a reality, and that possibility would keep me awake at night. Thank you for a wonderful review!

The book sounds like it's a decent sci fi thriller. Some of the future possibilities it flags up are a bit too real to be entertaining! Thanks for a great review.

It’s not always fun to think about what the future has in store for us but Fiction can give us a glimpse of the possibilities before it’s too late to make important changes. I hope this is a book that causes people to think and take action. Small changes over time can make a world of difference. Thanks for the review!

This review sums up the novel’s core topics succinctly. This novel is definitely for any science fiction fan that is drawn to novels that address current societal concerns in a fantastical framework. The gritty and rather dark nature of the main character coupled with the innocence of his companion makes this for an intriguing read it would seem. This review has definitely piqued my interest in the novel seeing as I am quite the science fiction fan. Clear and concise, thank you for the thorough review!

Thank you for your review. Your summary in the first paragraph is written well and makes it easy to grasp the story.

I am definitely going to have to read this. I love how you said that these events can happen to us, because I think you are right. And so is the author. 2058 is not so far away...
