Ralph Regan recommended The Walls are Closing In
Great concept. Enjoyed reading the first chapter. Waiting for the rest!
The Seclusion
Sixty years after The Seclusion, in which America sealed itself off from the outside world, Patch Collins navigates the panoptic nightmare of a total surveillance state.

I felt quickly like the world of the story was real.  Reopening cabinets expecting more food and moving your leg from under the covers then back again, that dwelling in your own head- I think those are important elements to make her seam like any of us...just ina different time. The dream description in the cafe I also really like- as her life sounds lonely and being in a busy cafe taking laugher in, shows that she is longing for a simple thing. Something you shouldn't have to dream to experience. I looking forward to reading the whole book! All the best, Alyssa

      This is future shock delivered in real time and with max voltage. The most chilling part about "The Walls are Closing In" is that the walls really are closing in. We have just endured a presidential where truth was discarded and ignored, so it does not seem like such a leap to enter a world where truth, beyond what the powerful deem it to be, is unknown.

          Castle has crafted an eerily believable future for America that is reminiscent of George Orwell's "1984". From the giant wall insulating America from the rest of the world, to the propaganda on mandatory, controlled television, to the cameras monitoring the protagonist's every movement, I was chilled. This is a fascinating read about how 75 years from now, everything could be totally different in our world.
