Re: Review of 2084

Post by Rose Angela »

2084 by Rob Standridge is a dystopian novel where the government controls thoughts and memories. The protagonist, Liesa, regains her memories and uncovers the government's manipulation through mind-altering drugs. She fights to break free and uncover the truth.

Perfect for dystopian fiction fans! 📚✨

A few years ago, I would have thought the idea of government gaining total control of the populace impossible. However, recent events have changed my stance. I particularly like that the author drew parallels between the book and a real-life movement. I believe that will give readers a lot to ponder on.

"2084" by Rob Standridge seems intriguing. The author's sense of imagination is top-notch. Liesa has indeed been robbed of many authentic moments. This is a prediction that might come true. Congrats on BOTD. Nice review.

Wow. The author's vision of the future is interesting. A political thriller exploring extreme government control to create a world without conflict sounds intriguing. These kinds of stories make us realize the dangerous possibilities about government conspiracy we couldn't avoid. A thought-provoking read for fans of this genre. Great review!

This sounds like a mixture of “The Giver” by Lois Lowry and “1984” by George Orwell. In both books, the government was totalitarian. As always, there is only one that discovers the absence of freedom and what it truly means to have it. I did enjoy these books, so I might like this one as well. I am hesitant to read this book because a good ending is not a guarantee.

Wow! 2084 is scary! I'm not usually interested in this type of book, but once I started reading the free sample, I had to get the entire book. There are so many things that have happened since 2020 and the COVID pandemic, that none of us know what the long term affects will be on humanity. This book let's us know what will happen! It's a great read!

This book sounds so cool! A world without problems but controlled by the government? I want to see how Liesa fights back. Sounds like a crazy adventure!

The novel explores the idea of government control that was so extreme that it could suppress religious beliefs, creation, and other human functions by using medications that affect cognition without the public's knowledge. Seems is a fun work of political conspiracy fiction, romance, mystery thriller, and adventure.

This sounds like a book similar to The Giver, but for adults! I think it sounds interesting...great review!! :-)

Today's BOTD combines dystopian lit with political thriller in a novel that's thought-provoking, but at the same time, almost too scary to even think about. Readers who are ready to dive into issues our world could face in the future surrounding total government control will want to pick this one up today!! Thanks again for the helpful review and keep up the awesome work! :-)

Definitely not my cup of tea, because the "world without conflicts, illness, food or water shortages, or any global warnings" sounds like utopia and has no chance to become real. That's why, despite my unfamiliarity with the genre, I wasn't surprised that the picture was perfect just on the surface. Sorry, I prefer to skip, but congrats with BOTD!

'Official Review: 2084: Trump & the Bill of Freedoms' has a thought-provoking and thorough introduction. It mentions the remarkable features of the science fiction book. This intriguing book shows what could happen to us if our federal government ever gained complete control of us. It sheds light on government corruption. The author parallels this storyline to our current political environment and the Make America Great Again movement. Finally, this is an entertaining dystopian adventure, mystery, thriller, romance, and political conspiracy fiction!

This book has a futuristic plot that proposes interesting points of view of a much more ideal world. In this story the protagonists discover that there is something in the water that makes them be under the clutches of the government, which exercises some kind of control over the population. #BOTD

2084: Trump & The Bill of Freedoms by Rob  Standridge seems to be an entertaining political thriller. We all dream of a dystopian world. Unfortunately, it can only be a dream unless the Creator decides otherwise. I appreciate your engaging review.

The novel presents the idea that a government can control people to the point of eliminating beliefs, creativity and freedom without anyone realizing it.

I am not one for policies even if it is fictional. It was a good engaging review explaining this dystopian word. The plot where the main character discovers the government is putting something in the water sounds to control the population sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. Non the less congratulation on book of the day.
