Reparations #1
Reparations USA
America, 2028. Reparations for the nation's colonial past is the law of the land. A supercomputer processes historical documents to calculate each citizen's Debit Score. Reality TV shows and religious cults help the nation atone for its sins. This is the story of everyday people caught in the crossfire between idealism and technology.
"Reparations USA" is the frantically inventive future history of the United States that is filled with heart, humor, and a diverse cast of sympathetic characters. Part action adventure, part ideology study, and part dystopian alarm call, this efficient novel takes you deep within the surveillance state where no deed—past or present—is innocent.
Philip Wyeth's overwhelming vision creates an entire world within itself, and in taking inspiration from both satire and classic social commentary sci-fi, might even help readers better understand events taking place in the "current year."
This is Book One of the "Reparations" series. 37,000 words.

About the author
Philip Wyeth
10 books22 followersPhilip Wyeth's writing is imaginative and intense! His fully immersive speculative stories explore what might happen if people actually got everything they say they wanted—politically, technologically, or socially.
Relatable characters, polished prose, and outrageous spectacles ensure that readers are entertained along the way, no matter how high-concept the ideas being explored are.
Inspired by such unique writers as Heinrich von Kleist, Ambrose Bierce, Joseph Conrad, and Len Deighton, Wyeth's explosive novels will resonate with fans of Philip K. Dick, Harry Harrison, Robert Sheckley, George Orwell, Michel Houellebecq, and Neal Stephenson.
Also a lifelong fan of heavy metal music and its many sub-genres, Wyeth strives to infuse his work with comparable levels of independence and larger-than-life visions.

I couldn't keep reading it just droning onwards what was the point of this story? It completely seemed as if the author was just counting pages. My advice just skip past this book.
