5.0 out of 5 starsMulticulturalism meets George Orwell
By A Customer on June 16, 2004
Format: Paperback
This book is a welcome addition to a long and illustrious line of dystopian fiction in the vein of Brave New World, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451.
This is an important work highlighting the risk we face when any aspect of governmental power becomes un-criticizable. For instance, today the worst thing that could happen to a politician would be to be tagged with the epithet "racist." Therefore when government acts in the name of anti-racism it is near impervious to most any objection, as anyone who would complain is labelled as a narrow-minded bigot. And so, unfettered by criticism, it's power grows.
Scott Wilson takes this observation to its ultimate extreme by creating a dystopian totalitarian nation founded upon the ideal of anti-racism. His heroes, fleeing persecution, are not Nazi sympathizers but are Average Joes struggling against a tyranny that wears a false-face of compassion. In doing this Mr. Wilson is able to expose and criticize this absolutist regime without coming across as a racist himself. Let's hope this book receives the attention it deserves and serves as the impetus to a new dialogue on race and government in the USA and Europe.
Book Summary:
Populist Huey Long once said that when fascism comes to America it'll come in the guise of anti-fascism. And in America in the year 2048 that is just what has happened. Multiculturalism, praised by many contemporaries, has become an absolute and indomitable force in a future where a tyrannical regime hands down the ultimate penalty to anyone accused of politically incorrect actions or attitudes.
Liam Eustace is a lonely corporate nobody struggling to get by day-to-day in a world that rejects him.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars1984's thought control, today's reasons for it
By wiredweird HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER on May 1, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book has many similarities to Orwell's 1984: the never-ending and fabricated war, the oppressive police state with as many guns turned inward as towards enemies outside, the long slow slide into universal poverty, and the government's abolition of all culture from the world before. It even has the Winston Smith of this story, Liam, working for the government office in charge of editing history into a version more favorable to the current regime.

Despite the similarities, this is a wholly different book. Wilson's totalitarian regime bases its oppression not on the eternal war, but on racial "equality" - a code word for a new, mandated inequality. This is Wilson's view of political correctness gone mad, ironically becoming the hate machine against which it rebelled in the first place. And, in the end, Wilson holds out a trace of hope that Orwell denied to his readers.

The book gets off to a rocky start, with an improbable case of mistaken identity. It also gets a bit shrill in places. It makes its point, though, that the threats to freedom come in many forms, often claiming to be a greater good than freedom or even to be freedom itself. That's why Orwell's 1984 needs to be rewritten again and again - the story doesn't change, but the threats to a free society do. Each time needs to hear the story again, but rephrased in terms of that time's own dangers.

3.0 out of 5 starsIf this book becomes well known the author will have a bull'seye on his back
By A. Simon on September 12, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Let me being by stating that the biggest racists that I have encountered in this country have always been black people.

Anyway. This book was referred to me by Amazon and, upon reading the brief summary and some of the reviews I immediately bought it, very surprised at finding fiction that went up against the Politically Correct dogma. There are many nonfictional works that do it, but this would be the third time it was done in fiction, so I jumped for it. I read the first few chapters and was surprised by the audacity of the author, whereupon I looked up the publisher and confirmed my hunch, namely that it was a self-published work (this is NOT a condemnation because I know that there would be no way that such a novel would make it past the PC gatekeepers that infest the publishing world).

The novel is a dystopia wherein a future totalitarian society is based on racism against whites by colored peoples in the name of Equality and Diversity and Multiculturalism. A John Doe is targeted by both rebels and the government due to a case of mistaken identity (of which the basis is immediately obvious considering his background).

OK, I found good and bad parts to the novel. The good as I said was that it challenges---radically challenges---the PC ideology. Another good point is the quotes at the beginning of chapters by famous black people who have publicly voiced their hatred of whites (without the condemnation by liberals, of course) that proves that black racism is not a figment of the author’s imagination. One more point: It shows how the main character has become so submissive and such a doormat to blacks through constant intimidation and guilt-inducing brainwashing that he will submit to being sterilized by the government for the “crime” of being a pure-bred white.Read more ›
