This book caught my interest early and held on. It takes place in the future (2030) where technology runs everything including the legal system. An innocent doctor demands a trial by humans and a lawyer who has become obsolete is picked to help him.
Quite a few things happen, very interesting, the way the author shows AI running everything. Seeing how the author sees the justice system work was fascinating.
Although all of the storylines got wrapped up, it felt like it ended too abruptly.
If you go crazy with typos or format errors, you'll see a few. But not many and it did not distract from the story.
Overall-I recommend it for a good fresh view of the justice system in the future.

In the not so distant future, the citizens are ruled by robot law, which in turn appears to be set in place by the most powerful corporation: Zon. We follow a high-quality surgeon, referred to as Doc, who, when walking home, finds a policeman who has been shot. He leans over to see if he can do anything, and gets arrested for murder. He was carrying a gun, but that had never been fired, but that does not matter. A robot declares he is guilty within 95% probability and is offered a choice. Plead guilty by taking a pill with nanobots and be sent to area 4, where he will at least live, or take a jury trial. Doc takes the latter, to find the jury will be robots. He gets a lawyer, Jon Keys, who goes for a human jury. What follows is a legal situation that would seem right in place if written by Franz Kafka, except for one point: this story actually has an end. For Doc, there appears to be no way out because robots always have a law that hurts the citizen.
The writing is clear, the story progresses well, the characters are plausible, as is their reactions. The fact that I thought of Kafka while reading it means it had genuine impact, which means five stars.

Artificial intelligence takes control...
Discredited Citizen is a brilliant and chilling novel for several reasons. For one thing, it shows us what life would be like under a purely malevolent, all-powerful and ruthless dictatorship where artificial intelligence controls all aspects of the criminal justice system.
Author Robert Kiesling weaves a unique and fascinating dystopian tale with intriguing twists and turns that will easily captivate the reader’s attention from the beginning. The author paints a dystopian society set in the year 2030 in a very vivid and convincing way. In addition, the characters are drawn with great credibility and conviction. It’s an intriguing and mesmerizing story that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last.
Aside from providing interesting backdrops for stories, dystopias have a cautionary message. Hopefully, as we read about the terrible things going on in a novel like Discredited Citizen, we will be on guard against anything similar happening in our own world. For example, people speak of government surveillance as being "Orwellian." The cautionary effect may not always work, but at least we have clues about some things to look out for. Although, some would argue that it’s already upon us.
Highly recommended reading but what would put this book up there with the dystopian greats would be a final editorial polish.

What happens when the best surgeon gets caught in a murder he claims he didn’t do? In the not-too-distant future, you would think the usual proceedings of court, trial by jury, etc. But not in the Zon, smart city where the façade of a Utopian city covers everything. In the year 2030, technical corporation, Zon has created a completely AI controlled and managed society. What was once thought as a Utopian existence unfolds into a dystopian world where robots have power and humans are powerless.
After his arrest with no chance of defending his rights Doc is faced with two choices. Take the bond pill that will allow him to live a very controlled life until his sentence is decided or lose his life. Sticking to his innocence claim, Doc refuses to take the pill and demands that he have a lawyer and a human jury in his trial, a process that hasn’t been done since Zon took over. Luckily for him, John Keys crosses his path. Except, John is also in a bind, he was just arrested for an altercation with AI police because he hates smart cities, Zon, and AI. In “Discredited Citizen” the reader follows John Keys, a drunk, jaded ex-trial Lawyer who gets a deal through an old partner. The deal being; get the doctor to plead guilty of the crime. When the Doc refuses to plead guilty, John decides to dive into a conspiracy that could risk everyone around him and his own life. Is it worth the lives around him if he can take down Zon?
Throughout the book it seemed like a fear tactic for AI especially with the forward. I mean, big corps and AI are a scary mix especially with recent info coming out that big names are putting a lot of money into AI. In his book, Kiesling has created a dystopian world where AI was created to save the world by big tech corps. However, over time, the AI become the ruling mass; leaving humans with little to no rights. Maybe this was the author’s way of trying to get the everyday person to learn or think more about the “Now”, technology today and the regulations that will come from it. I feel like that was lost however because this is a Sci-fi book and though it does make good points and it’s a great story, I don’t know how serious people will take it. Then again, fantasy and Sci-fi have always been outlets for the woes and worries of man-kind wrapped up in an engaging story.
The book is another example of man vs machine. It’s the struggle of trying to find the balance between what is ok to create/ “playing God” and what’s over the line. Even the fear and anger towards AI, I did enjoy the book. The chapters were short and easy to read. It’s definitely a page-turner.

A World Without Lawyer - Be Careful What You Wish For
Discredited Citizen by Robert Kiesling is a completely engaging futuristic novel that takes place in the year 2030.
On the surface, life appears to be a completely perfect utopian society where people live normal lives, go to work and socialize. Supplementing humanity and the work that people do is a large reliance on robots. A robot will tend bar and serve you a drink and be able to monitor your blood alcohol level. Additionally, if one too many drinks is ordered and consumed, a financial fine is automatically deducted from a person's universal income account.
Another major service provided by robots is a polite, but no nonsense police force that will warn the citizen if they are on the verge of breaking the law or if they do in fact break the law the robots will act immediately and mete out enforcement. Added to the mix is the judicial system in place that has negated the need for a trial by one's peers. Taking its place is a highly sophisticated system of bail and monitoring those who are released. The one exception being the charge of capital murder.
Subsequently only two categories of citizens exist in this world. The productive citizen stays clear of trouble. The other class of citizen is one who has strayed from law-abiding behavior and they are classified as a discredited citizen.
In front of this backdrop blend together a jealous husband, a purchased gun, an unfaithful wife, the murder of her lover, a top-notch trial lawyer, who has seen better days (both personally and professionally), missing evidence and you have an incredibly gripping novel that will not disappoint.
Discredited Citizen by Robert Kiesling is a smartly written novel that combines a futuristic society and develops the judicial and law enforcement aspect of this society. This novel is a completely engaging and entertaining read.
Added to the mix are some quite enjoyable interactions with Jon Keyes, the has-been lawyer, with the no-nonsense robots.
Finally, add in the seemingly caring Zon Corporation that has the ultimate control of society, and utilizes a horrific method of disposing of discredited citizens and you have a wonderful narrative that will grab the reader's imagination and take them on a time travel journey where benevolence can easily turn into brutality.

In 2030 Artificial Intelligence rules our Criminal Justice System. Human lawyers are deemed irresponsible and too corrupt and AI are factual, impartial, and not driven by emotions. The AI systems that rule the Justice system and most everything else are controlled by one major corporation. This corporation is corrupt at its core and wants to increase its profits at any costs. When one of the few remaining human lawyers is tasked to defend a drunk doctor accused of murder, he quickly starts to realize that the “perfect” system has more flaws than advertised. Through his discoveries he starts to become targeted while he attempts to build a case that will expose the horrors of this system, while still playing by its rules.
An interesting and intriguing dystopian novel that will have you thinking twice about the convenience of AI and robots in your life and how they can easily become humanities biggest nightmare. While some things seemed far-fetched, it all worked well together and being a SciFi book, I begin reading knowing some of my expectations will be pushed to the limits of what could theoretically be possible.

Robert Kiesling is the writer of Discredited Citizen. As he is a criminal trial lawyer, his experience and knowledge about law allows him to explain and talk about crimes with exceptional realism and this makes the story very interesting and addictive. It is a book addressed to a general audience but mystery lovers definitely shouldn’t miss it.
Part fantasy thriller, part drama, this story will captivate everyone. It is narrated in third person and it is set in 2030.
The characters are all well described, especially Jon Keys, the protagonist of the story, who is a trial lawyer that commits a crime and this lands him in prison. In jail, he discovers a conspiracy and he wants to reveal it and catch the guilty people before it destroys his life and his family.
Each chapter of the story is more exciting than the last one. The plot is very realistic and I found myself drawn into the story and caring for the characters. I couldn’t stop reading it. It is a fantastic work to explore. I will recommend reading this story.

“Discredited Citizen” is a novel written by Robert Kiesling. I always enjoy a good sci-fi read, especially a book that contains artificial intelligence in the theme, so when I saw the description of this book I immediately knew that it was the one I was waiting for. In fact, it was amazing and I had an incredible time reading it.
It is set in the year 2030 and the world is very different from the one we know today. The illustrations of the future are particularly amusing. They are suitably expressive and the writing style will engage readers. The author perfecttly describes how everything has changed.
The book contains fifty-two chapters and I was at the edge of my sit in all of them, worried about what else could happen. It manages to successfully combine action and science fiction.
All in all, this book is a highly entertaining read. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci-fi.

This is a real page turner for sure. The setting is in the future where AI really has taken over all aspects in a way that seems helpful and more enriching to human lives but as time goes on we can see the imperfections and the glitches. The author has woven a story that lets you imagine yourself in this world and let’s you see the dark side to having a future that looks like this one. The book is so greatly written with detail that I could see it all playing out in my head easily. I think this book should be made into a movie. It kind of reminds me of iRobot in some ways but definitely a better movie plot in this book. I would recommend reading it if you like futuristic scenes but also mystery and good endings. It ended really well and I audibly said “wow.” once I was done. I will probably reread it just because it was that much of a fun read. This book keeps you interested and keeps you guessing. Loved it!

Futuristic reads with AI and robots? This is the type of book that really enthralls me. As I was reading Discredited Citizen, I found myself learning so many things about artificial intelligence and the ever growing technology we live these days. The author was right pointing out that this could be a possibility in the near future. Who knows? Maybe it's even already starting these days.
The narration of this book was flawless. I loved the main characters as well. The thing is, the story speaks creativity. There were even twists and turns that wowed me. I loved that it was reader friendly. I am not much of a techy person so usually when I read a book like this, I find it difficult to understand the terminologies but this book was easy to read. Not to mention the fact that it was fast-paced as well. I highly recommend Discredited Citizen to all fans of science fiction!

Discredited Citizen Kindle Edition by Robert Kiesling: I wondered why the book cover, so dark red and black, and utterly foreboding was labeled sci-fi as I have known it. As I began reading my memories jogged back in time to a TV show, Rod Serling’s, Twilight Zone (late 60s-early 70s).
Yeah, I thought. This is the twilight zone. Artificial Intelligence and humans. The story pulled me forward like a magnet. Constant conflict and salted with action and peppered with intrigue. You can get enough info about the story from the authors synopsis above, but the story… the story is far greater than the blurb. You’ll be drawn into the story once you hit page one. Don’t let this one pass you by. Yes, it is Science-Fiction in the twilight zone.

Discredited Citizen by Robert Kiesling is a great book set in the Dystopian future where artificial intelligence is a constant peril. Combine artificial intelligence with the justice system, and you have a great premise for a compelling book. The Zon corporation seems to rule everything, and go after a good man just simply trying to save a man's life. With a highly addictive writing style, superb creativity and the all too real threat of artificial intelligence in the background, this is a compelling and gripping read with a strong plot, human dimension and a fast pace. From the beginning to the neat and tidy ending, this is a well written book that will hold your interest and keep you reading. Highly recommend.

Discredited Citizen, written by criminal trial lawyer Robert Kiesling, is a thrilling dystopian novel.
The story is set in the year 2030, in a world where artificial intelligence has replaced human lawyers. I don’t think this idea is very far from what could actually happen in the real world in a not very distant future.
I believe that the fact that the author is a lawyer himself is what made the story so believable and engaging. The characters are well-developed, likable and engaging.
I also like the author’s creative descriptions for the various places, events and sci-fi elements. I cannot overcome the temptation to read it again and again and I highly recommend reading this gripping story!

Author Robert Kiesling did a very good job with the plot of this story. “Discredited Citizen” is about a city where artificial intelligence has all the power and control in the justice system. The book has a really good balance between fiction and robotics.
Somehow John Keys, the protagonist and a very good lawyer, ends up in jail due to a crime he did not commit. Then the story has ups and down with revealing information making the read very entertaining.
I enjoyed the style the author has, developing a very good pace in the narration. Also, I think it follows the storyline smoothly, making a very appealing and gratifying read.

A dystopian future.
It is a new and terrifying futuristic story. Discredited Citizen is a book written by Robert Kiesling. He relates a story that occurs in 2030, in a world where artificial intelligence takes over the criminal justice system and makes it obsolete. In this context, John Keys, a trial lawyer, a doctor falsely accused and other people will suffer the consequences of the new system.
It is terrifyingly exciting. Although the scenes are extreme, the plot and characters are so well developed that it made me feel that the story could be real. Besides, I think that the story unfolding in the near future brings more emotion. It is easy and simple to read. I really enjoyed it!

Clever ending
Worth reading for the thrilling action and the point being made. A little too dark for me, but some people find my books too dark, too. To each his own. But I hope to heck this ain't the future. However, 50 years ago I thought there was no way we could ever avoid being incinerated by a nuclear holocaust, and looky, looky, we're still here!

Wow. I really enjoyed this
Scifi/legal thriller mashup. suspenseful, good pacing, solid characters, all-too-believable villains...
I'm picky about language, and I think there are some weaknesses in the style, but nothing too serious, and the story carried it off. Highly recommend.
