2084

by John B. Dutton

Worldwide fame and fortune beckon for sculptor Santiago Khan in a new North American megastate where a Board chosen by reality show viewers runs the country as a corporate paradise. But his life begins to derail after learning of a connection to purple-haired, sexually confident Mira Cool, who builds her online brand by disrupting major art installations similar to his.

When Santi’s father is misdiagnosed and held captive by AI healthcare bots, Mira joins Santi on a fateful mission as they risk their lives to uncover the truth about the Board. Can they reveal their findings before the government tracks them down?

2084 depicts a frighteningly possible future of genetic body modification, a virtual religion, palliative entertainment, personalized porn, and chip implants that track every citizen’s moods and movements.

Utopia or dystopia? Freedom or servitude? Reality or fiction? 2084 is a novel that will make you question every choice you make in our world today. Because tomorrow is closer than you think.

CAUTION: This book is rated 18+ (explicit sex, body horror, and menacing AI.)

Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

It seems like the author deliberately created an off-putting slant to every aspect of this book, feeding into the creation of this dystopia... the characters, the relationships, sex, faux equality, ubiquitous personalized ads, the illusion of control and freedom. Couldn't put it down.

Not to my liking
