Since I try to teach others to prepare for their survival in times of disasters and emergencies, natural or otherwise, this book presented me with another look at what needs to be further worked on. As I read this book, it kept opening my eyes to what is happening right now politically in our country. It presents a future situation that could possibly happen if you view the various things that are being forced on the American public and even the world, at this time. From laws against selling raw milk, to cornering the market on agriculture, creating GMO foods and seeds (Genetically modified foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms), limiting the use of herbal remedies, forced health insurance and other government forced programs. You can definitely see the way this country is headed, unless you don't want to see it. So don't read this book thinking it is completely a work of fiction (though it is fiction). It reminds me of the book, 1984 by George Orwell, which at the time it was written many people laughed it off. Now many things in that book came to be facts. I am not a survivalist or anything that radical. I am just a person trying to survive in these times we live in.This book is written from the view point of several different people going through all these different situations that are affected by the big company that runs the country, the people and has replaced the government. As you read the thoughts of the various people you will reflect on how it is connected to what is presently in the news today, or what small groups of people are protesting against. Remember all those emails you receive, to sign various petitions, that you delete? I will be rereading those myself! In this story there are two classes of people: the laborers and the gifted ones who end up in the boardroom of the big company. No more personal relationships or social get togethers, as it is all done digitally now. All for your convenience and entertainment. All for the big company getting all your money, because they sell everything you need.I don't want to spoil the book for you, but what happens when it all goes down? What happens when all of a sudden the big company loses it and cannot provide for you any longer? What happens when masses of people are on their own? Kind of like a zoo full of animals, that are let out to fend for themselves after years of being cared for? Think about it!
