In the late 21st century, the Axiom Corporation has transformed Earth into a utopia—at least for those who submit to their ultimate form of social media, their minds interconnected by an innovative brain implant.
Claudia Avena, Axiom’s young and talented information security officer, grapples with her privilege when she finds herself in an impassioned love affair with Tommy, a rebel who finds the cybernetic devices abhorrent.
Protected inside Axiom’s walls, Claudia watches in horror as a cyberattack on their public network tips civilization off its axis—devastating malware she could have, and should have, prevented. She toils in guilt-ridden isolation to restore order to the chaos, blind to the transformation of the post-apocalyptic world outside, where the remnants of humanity vie for power in Axiom’s absence.
When Claudia makes a breakthrough that thrusts Axiom back into power, she must face the true nature of her employer, as well as her own true nature, before Axiom forever redefines what it means to be human.

Praise for Antisocial
Riveting satire, cautionary tale, or glimpse into the near future? A must-read for everyone who has wondered about the downside of social media. Every chapter could elicit a thoughtful discussion of how the digital revolution has changed what it means to communicate, socialize, and even be human. Antisocial … makes me worry how digital-savvy miscreants can use technology to exert control over a populace in ways Orwell merely hinted at.

If you think society is divided now, just take a trip through the future world of the Axiom corporation. It’s a startling and yet somehow familiar existence in which people are brutally judged for deciding not to connect to the network. The novel combines corporate greed, cool sci-fi tech, convincingly lifelike characters, complex moral decisions, awesome action scenes, rebellious heroes and touching relationships. It is both a terrifying vision of the future and a meaningful examination of the human condition.

After reading, I question if this is science fiction or a glimpse of what may happen in the future? It seems all too plausible. This was well written and has great character development. I enjoyed the detailed descriptions throughout.
