Product Description

Revolutionary Language is a story about love and perseverance in the face of adversity and a parable about a potential path to greater individual liberty at a time when government power approaches Orwellian proportion.

Andy Archer is a regular guy, a young man struggling to balance his personal and professional life in hectic times. Working as a computer encryption consultant, he unwittingly assists a firm engaged in illegal acts and soon finds himself the focus of a powerful government attorney bent on law and order at all costs.

Engulfed in a vortex of injustice and recrimination, he struggles to regain perspective, escape the mistakes of his past, and build a new life under intolerable circumstance. He falls in with a group whose views lead him to a second confrontation with his antagonists, a battle that threatens the most basic foundation of modern government.

4.0 out of 5 stars STRONG ENCRYPTION AND THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM!, February 6, 2001
By William Howell Jr. (Sterling, Alaska USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent new near-future SF novel, dealing with the current inroads on liberty and how strong encryption might reverse the trend. The novel focuses on a computer programer whose life is wrecked because a Federal Prosecutor decides to "make an example" of him for unwittingly writing code to be used by a company involved in drug dealing. After losing everything he owns due to asset forfeiture and doing time in prison, the sadder but wiser hero begins to write an encryption program which will allow individuals to "opt out" and live invisible to government. The novel raises many good philososphical points and tells a gripping story. If you're interested in encryption or the future of liberty, READ THIS BOOK!

4.0 out of 5 stars Scale-model, updated "Atlas Shrugged", March 24, 2007
People whose worldview were shaped by Ayn Rand will encounter similar themes in this book, updated for a contemporary setting and scaled down to the level of what an individual can do. No, the protagonist in Revolutionary Language does not want to "stop the motor of the world" by organizing a global strike of the productive class. He only wants to help the "producers" shift ever-growing chunks of their lives beyond the rapacious grasp of the "looters."

As the Duke lacrosse case demonstrated, nobody is immune to the attentions of ambitious political figures, who are willing to ruin lives in order to further their own careers. But new technologies bring with them new hope. The blogosphere turned "Nifong" into a verb, for example. Mr. Calderwood suggests that true privacy, a secure and anonymous form of digital currency, can deprive the parasites of their hosts.

A well-written and well-paced thriller. Calderwood, alas, does share some of Ayn Rand's preachiness. (hence, four instead of five stars) Fortunately, the sermons are less than a page long, and the action tells the story very well.
