Bring Me Kenneth Baker

Bring Me Kenneth Baker is the first novel and installment of the series If Observant written by Chelsea Rayemont. It was published in 1881 and was Rayemont's first publicated work. It follows the fugative writer Kenneth Baker, an author of several dystopian novels, as he seeks asylum from the government who see his writings as a threat.
The novel has been noted for its Art-Imitating-Life aspects and an almost page-for-page concurrence with the real world. As such, Rayemont would be considered a prophet in her works.
==Backstory & Inspiration==
The inspiration for the story was mostly from the general and political atmosphere of wartime America. This included its opinions on communism and anti-war messages. Most of which were censored by the Sedition Act of 1917. Writers were often arrested if their work was deemed a threat to national security or the war effort by the Espionage Act of 1917.
The Second Act of the story is very much inspired by the Palmer Raids during the Red Scare occuring around the same time. Many people, mostly immigrants, who were suspected of being traitors or treasonous had their homes raided by the newly formed FBI.
