BLURB
"Hundreds of years
into the future, mankind has gone under ground to relocate to the beautiful
city of Epsilon. Epsilon is run by a strong, secretive government that keeps
its citizens in check by subtle manipulation and strict schedules. No one
questions its authority and no one is unhappy. ALN-896, an average man who
is just trying to live a normal life, begins to have dreams; something strange
and rare in Epsilon. In his dreams, he meets a man named Harry and everything
is fine- until Harry dies. When ALN-896 wakes up, he shrugs it off as if
nothing has happened. It was only a dream. But then the next day, he is
suddenly arrested and sent to prison for killing Harry, whom ALN-896 assumed
was just a figment of his imagination. Now inside prison, ALN-896 begins
to learn about everything the government of Epsilon has been doing and he plans
on escaping. Not only from prison, but from Epsilon. This one decision turns
him against everything he has ever known and forces him to face against
centuries of lies. To escape means to live. But what will it cost?

REVIEW
Dystopian futures. These have been the stuff of our imaginative fancy for years. From stories about children living on Mars who wait for a once-a-year glimpse of sun, to evil robots vying for control of the Earth and using humans for batteries, to adorable little robots who just want to clean up the trash, dystopian futures have been used to explore social questions, bizarre and disturbing "what if" scenarios, and shock us into caring about the present. Epsilon A.R. is a dystopian future with a twist.
