This book, although classed as such, did not read like Science Fiction to me but more like Science Fact. The political climate portrayed in the book is so close to our own, it made for quite a scary read. I really questioned the characters true intentions throughout this book, and as engrossed in Becketts observations of our very human traits.
This book made me evaluate my own views on our planet, how things are currently progressing, and also what could I do, or has the human race already set itself on the path to where this book leads?
I could clearly see the events in this book happening in 100 years when it is set, as a lot of it is happening right now in our current time. It is human nature to perpetuate these values, and human nature to protect ourselves and our own when things get tough or you're brought against a common enemy.
An engrossing read, and a highly probable (and frightening!) prediction of our future.
