The cost for this 'Utopia' is definitely too high. I'll rather have my mind and memories in tact than to achieve perfection while being a 'zombie'.
'2084" by Rob Standridge, an adventure thriller with political conspircy that is worth reading. Congratulations on BOTD.

This is a dystopian novel that is familiar to George Orwell's 1984 book. It is frightening to consider a world that considers free thinking a threat. A world where excessive government overreach suppresses individuality and indoctrinates masses of people through mind control.

This is a great review. I am not a fan of SCIFI books but your review makes one want to read more of the books. The idea of everyone being zombies is scary. Though we prefer not to have war, lack of emotions is a scary thought.

That would be scary a world where thinking is considered a threat. How would we advance in this world without thinking.

2084: Trump & The Bill of Freedoms by Rob Standridge is a great dystopian book with a unique storyline. I love that it is linked to the MAGA movement. Congrats on being BOTD.

"2084" by Rob Standridge, a book that features the government, Utopia, and fight against a hidden plan targeting the populace. It will be great to find out how Leisa was able to cope in the struggles and discover more of the government agendas. It will be an interesting book to read.

"2084: Trump & The Bill of Freedoms" by Rob Standridge is a thrilling dystopic adventure, mystery, romance, and political conspiracy fiction. The idea of government control to stop religious beliefs, creation, and other human functions with mind-altering drugs without people knowing will keep readers turning the pages till the end. I class it a worthy read, however, if you're averse to profanities, you may consider skipping this book.

This is one of the many reminders and motivation for us to appreciate that only a small government is good. It would be better to live in a world packed with all the prevailing ups and downs rather than mind control and manipulation.
Many thanks for this amazing review, @Bertha Jackson.

Thank you for your insightful review of “2084: Trump & The Bill of Freedoms.” It's great that you found the intertwining of Gregory Nosh’s transcripts and the themes of government control compelling. Your appreciation for the parallels drawn to contemporary politics highlights the book’s relevance and depth.

A perfect world is surreal. At what cost does a perfect world come to place? The “great strategy” is a government plan to achieve a perfect world, but it comes with mind-altering illegal usage of drugs to make people robots and snatching their freedom. Leisa seems to have accidentally put herself out of this spell; can she oppose the government and bring freedom to everyone?

This sounds like a great dystopian novel worth reading. 2084 has a great plot and I like that the story parallels current world affairs but in a fictional setting. It seems the author is quite good at making predictions and I'm curious what else from the story will come to pass. Congratulations on making BOTD!

I love Sci-Fi/Fantasy and, to be honest, wasn't all that surprised that the predicted future in the book isn't positive, since it's kind of hard to believe in better with how civilization has progressed so far. But it doesn't change that I enjoy seeing where the author's imagination leads us this time, and the description makes it obviously thought-provoking and interesting. Thanks for the recommendation, and congrats on BOTD!

The idea of a utopian society depending on complete control of the people makes one realise that perhaps striving for such an idealised society is not worth our time. This sounds like a thought provoking book, I enjoyed reading your review. Well done.
