The thing with government is that every promise of a perfect life comes at a huge cost to the people. In this book, the cost of a perfect world is the stealing of the things that make humans humans.
Leisa lives in a perfect world without conflict, food, or water shortages. But at what cost? The government controls every aspect of people's lives. Leisa discovers that the water is laced with mind-altering drugs. Is that what turns people into mindless zombies? What should she do about it?
This book presents a chilling dystopian vision where government control reaches an extreme level, stripping people of their autonomy through mind-altering substances. The novel raises important ethical questions about the cost of a so-called "perfect" society and whether absolute security is worth the loss of free will. Nice review.
Wow this book sounds incredibly interesting. I like how the book ties into modern day situations and the political climate. Also absolutely fascinating that the author received a letter from the president about the book.
The dystopian world described in the book is horrifying and alarmingly realistic in near future. The book is engrossing and and exciting to read. I hope to enjoy the read. Thanks for an honest review!
This book's storyline is amazing and scary to think of at the same time. I wouldn't trade my freedom for a world that appears to be perfect but actually isn't. It would be sad if the government would want to turn citizens to zombies to get what they want. I do hope it never comes to that.
Hi @ Alichi, I just read your comments on the official review of “2084: Trump & The Bill of Freedoms” and I was disappointed that you did not prove that you read the sample and the official review which is required for a forum post. For example, “2084: Trump & The Bill of Freedoms” by Rob Standridge is a dystopian adventure, mystery thriller and political conspiracy fictional story. The leaders of the country developed the Great Strategy to save the world from destruction. It takes place 60 years after Trump was elected to a second term as president and the beginning of his takeover of the American government. What Americans did not realize was the government was manipulating them by making them unable to think for themselves and past memories have been wiped from their minds. They only perform tasks assigned to them by the government while their lives were destroyed. Ten years later Liesa began having memories of her past and she realized that people were functioning like emotionless zombies. Liesa discovered the water she had been drinking from her kitchen sink was not part of the water supply system that every American should have been drinking. She stopped drinking anything from the government and she stopped taking the supplements provided by the government. What kind of drug has the government added to the water supply and supplements that has turned them into robotic zombies. What can Liesa do to stop the government from doing this to her fellow Americans? While this is fiction I immediately thought of the GOP members of the House of Representatives, Senators and their constituents that I have wondered about for the past eight years. I have stated that people need to stop drinking the Trump Kool-Aid. This book shows the worst-case result of mind controlling drugs that could be added to the water supply. Rob Standridge did a wonderful job of paralleling this story with the current political environment and the MAGA movement. Standridge had actually predicted Trump would win the 2024 election and Trump sent him a letter about this book. I encourage all OBC members and other readers to read the U.S. Constitution especially the Bill of Rights so that one can realize what we are in the process of losing as the Trump administration is firing government employees with the intent of replacing them with Trump loyalists. This is an incredible story that details how governments take away individual rights. Think about Russia, China, North Korea, Hungary and other dictatorships and then wonder how did they turn their citizens into zombies that follow their leaders every command. Fortunately, there are dissidents that have kept their sanity and have not given into the mind control efforts of their governments. I fear what is happening to America and I pray for non-mind-controlled leadership to rise up and take back our country. Can this happen before it is too late? I highly recommend this book and laud Bertha Jackson for her outstanding review. This is not another political thriller; it is a story about a group of rag-tag rebels that want to rescue America. @Mrlefty0706
