A Day In The Life

The imagery almost seems true to life except that the actual decay of civilization as depicted in this book hasn't actually occurred (yet). The story is unsettling, so much that the reader can't avoid feeling as though he could be one of the characters...or perhaps wish he was. Who wouldn't want to live in a world of complete chaos where the government is so corrupt that the average citizen gets away with whatever crime or decrepit act he wants as long as the authorities don't care (what authorities)? Overall, a very realistic story, and well written. Thank you for your honesty Mr. Gold!
