Foresight: First Phase

by R. Gregory Lande

Nadene anxiously opened a letter from the Foresight Education Committee. With a sigh, she quickly scanned the contents and frowned as the document’s impersonal tone demanded mandatory training. In a near-future dystopian world, government authorities decided that human memories, emotions, and pain were barriers to social progress. With the accidental discovery of a chemical substance government leaders now had the means to shape society. In this post-apocalyptic world, two families grapple with the government’s proposal to administer the chemical to their children.

Reviews

[Carolyn Angi · Rating 1 out of 5]

DNFed. This reads like the author writes fanfiction and the punctuation was all over the place. The premise is kinda cool but the way the characters tall is incredibly stilted and made it impossible to read

[Roland · Rating 5 out of 5]

A quick read with rich character development
