Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

THEMADMANIn any scientific democracy, anomalies are discarded in favor of generallyaccepted norms established for the good of all-but what if you are theanomaly? Would you have the will to persevere and follow your destinyto the end, or would you roll over and adhere to the ever-growing list ofsocial conventions telling you who you are?Steven is an outsider delivered unsuspectingly into an environmentcontrolled by impersonal and predetermined rules. Despite attempts tostrip him of his identity, Steven has a sense of being different, which isnot a laudable trait in this world where being different spells destruction.Although fictional in nature, The Madman exists in the shadows of our currentreality. With every new generation, the screws are tightened down further, andsomehow people still find comfort in the jaws that clutch them. Fortunately,this yarn is set in a future that has not yet come, but if it does arrive someday,what would you do if faced with being an anomaly in a society that wouldrather have you discarded than permit your continued existence?"Stevenson delivers a bleak view of the future that - in its obsessions withtechnology and easy sensual pleasures - is alarmingly close to the present."-BlueInk Review"An energetic and engaging vision of a dark dystopia."-Kirkus Review
