Overview

A mind-altering regime. Unity and loyalty dictated. Can one man resist the machine and rip away the veil to reveal the truth? Seattle, 2084. Antony Sartori hides his grief. Struggling to find a sense of purpose after losing his wife to a deadly pandemic, the former engineer silently suffers while surviving on welfare payments. Out past curfew after a long night of drinking, the devoted citizen is detained, put on trial, and assaulted by the authority he once served. Plagued by flashbacks that feel more real than the world around him, the fifty-four-year-old begins to question whether his mind or reality itself is unraveling. And though bombarded by reminders to leave the past behind and to live for his fellow man, the seeds of defiance take root in his heart. With every move watched and judged, can Antony wake up before all is lost? Lucid is a thought-provoking dystopian thriller. If you like dangerous truths and high-tech Orwellian futures grounded in hard science, then you'll love Michael S. Milano's chilling cautionary tale.

""A chilling tale of a future in which control is exercised on the grandest of scales. Timely, provocative, and compelling."" - Tom Woods, New York Times bestselling author of Meltdown ""Classic dystopian fiction. But what sets it apart is the writing style, which somehow mixes the grand verbiage of propaganda, sweeping questions of philosophy, and the detailed technical inner workings of both human and machine. ... Dry, sarcastic, sardonic, and at times, absurdist, Lucid is a chilling take on a possible fear-filled future."" - Erica Ball, Independent Book Review ""A thought-provoking dystopian thriller."" - BlueInk Review
