I love dystopian fiction and found this parody very funny. The saracastic, dark humour works great and the premise is fantastic. Douglas Adams meets George Orwell.

Synopsis

DV-8 lives in a dystopian, totalitarian, Orwellian nightmare...and he loves it!

After all, when every single aspect of your life is dictated, it takes a lot of the pressure off you. He never has to worry about making plans for the weekend as he’s not allowed to do anything; he never has to worry about making small talk with strangers since any topics outside of party business are outlawed and he never has to worry about meeting someone as he already has a partner assigned to him. He’s living the dream.

So, when the revolution comes and DV-8 is granted his freedom (and a new name), he finds he has absolutely no idea what to do with it. A twist on a traditionally Orwellian tale that will make you say, ‘Bring Back Big Brother'.

Reviews

Brilliant. So funny, from an author you know will be big in comedy - stand-up and/or fiction. A parody of 1984, its dark humour requires an intelligence from the reader that's fulfilling, leading us through a dystopian world with fascism, communism, and a whole host of other 'isms', whilst raising existential tongue-in-cheek conversations regarding the relationship between freewill and happiness, and the potential to be content through institutionalisation. I really enjoyed it!
