Oh boy, Modern Times - Double Future is one wild ride through the political circus of 2029! Imagine AI “fixers” rigging social media, dark money lurking in the Bahamas, and two parties duking it out with every tech trick they’ve got. Gloria and Bill are just trying to mind their own business, but suddenly they’re caught up in this twisted campaign that’s equal parts danger and digital madness. This book is juicy, intense, and totally nails that near-future vibe. If you’re down for suspense and backstabbing with a side of sci-fi sass, this one’s for you! 💥🗳️

Modern Times - Double Future takes readers straight into a high-stakes political game where power, greed, and technology collide in the near-future world of 2029 Washington, D.C. With social media manipulation, AI-driven “fixers,” and dark money lurking in the Bahamas, this story kept me on the edge of my seat. Gloria and Bill’s involvement in this web of corruption and their attempts to steer clear of danger added a relatable layer to the intrigue. I loved the suspenseful twists and the timely themes that felt eerily relevant—it’s a book that really made me think.
