Publisher's summary

By 2084, Thelites have designed the perfect society. They finally have virtual, scientific models for everything. They live and work in harmonious, anxiety-free, blissful happiness, running models to guarantee safety and equality to each member of their society. They want more than anything to bring these benefits to the Proles, their less enlightened neighbors. But, why do they resist?

Meet Julianna, a passionate scientist who is tasked with plotting infinitesimally small, stellar threats to mankind hundreds of years in the future. She loves her life as a Thelite. But, when her father dies unexpectedly, she uncovers secrets about him, about herself, that unravels the fabric of her beliefs. Now, Julianna must navigate a mortal duplicity. She discovers things that her fellow Thelites cannot know. The more she learns the truth, the more she fears what a perfect society does to the people who dare to question it.

The Best Outcome

The universe created in this book around 2084 is fantastic, the merging timelines and stories, and the imagery around The Best Society and the art of dreaming. I appreciate the subtle analogues to “1984” while so perfectly unique and completely stands on its own.

Well done, Joel. I hope you continue to use your talents for more books. Also a great performance by Abigail.
