Dave M, Reviewer
While I'm typically a fan of dystopian literature, much of it seems formulaic or overdone. Mikael Carlson's America, Inc., provided a fresh spin on the the concept with clever details like the "ticker tape" running at the top of each chapter. Normally I'm not a fan of shifting POV, but it works very well in this case. The only complaint I would have is that the Rykos character seems a little too loyal to the current regime considering how much he does not like his father. I get that it moves the narrative along, and sets up the sequel well, but it doesn't quite seem true to his character. Other than that, I thought the author did a good job of creating an alternate world where the perceived excesses of today take us to a very unpleasant future.
