I also write Young Adult and Children's fiction under the name JB Dutton.
After graduating from film school in London, England, I emigrated to Montreal, where I live with my two children. I began my career as a TV director and editor, then moved into the communications industry, writing for clients such as Cirque du Soleil and Skidoo. Until recently I was Chief Creative Officer with international ad agency Camden, and I write regularly for leading industry publications Strategy and Forbes Agency Council. I’ve also written screenplays, a stage play, novels and short stories.

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.
