From New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow, Radicalized
is four urgent SF novellas of America's present and future within one
book
Told through one of the most on-pulse genre voices of our generation,
Radicalized is a timely collection consisting of four SF novellas
connected by social, technological, and economic visions of today and
what America could be in the near, near future.
Unauthorized Bread is a tale of immigration, the toxicity of economic
and technological stratification, and the young and downtrodden fighting
against all odds to survive and prosper.
In Model Minority, a Superman-like figure attempts to rectifiy the
corruption of the police forces he long erroneously thought protected
the defenseless...only to find his efforts adversely affecting their
victims.
Radicalized is a story of a darkweb-enforced violent uprising against
insurance companies told from the perspective of a man desperate to
secure funding for an experimental drug that could cure his wife's
terminal cancer.
The fourth story, Masque of the Red Death, harkens back to Doctorow's
Walkaway, taking on issues of survivalism versus community.
