Control; Alt; Delete: Dr. Stundel's Program To Reboot Your Dangerous Teen
“An inspired mash-up of "Minority Report" and "Catcher In The Rye.” In addition to being an absorbing examination of nature vs. nurture and destiny vs. free will, Flores's story is a riveting cautionary tale about a near future that in many ways is already here.” — Bill Kelly, screenwriter (”Enchanted” “Blast From The Past”)
Sixteen-year-old Eddie Crowe is in trouble—not for what he’s done, but for crimes he’s predicted to commit. This brilliant insight comes from Dr. Stundel, a safety expert with a controversial test that peers into the murky depths of future criminal behavior and a program to fix it all.
High school is tough enough without being labeled a homicidal sociopath, so Eddie teams up with another misfit in the program, Angela, a charmingly anti-social misanthrope. Together, they uncover truths about themselves and challenge Dr. Stundel’s messiah complex, proving that maybe some things just aren’t meant to be fixed.
Control; Alt; Delete: Dr Stundel’s Program to Reboot Your Dangerous Teen is a darkly humorous, satirical, and thought-provoking coming-of-age story of a young adult’s existential quest to find an authentic identity, for better or worse.
