A review by aoosterwyk
Proxy by Alex London
5.0
The Whipping Boy meets Feed meets The Hunger Games in this fast-paced dystopian fiction. The society of the future is based on commerce and technology, with the very rich living the "lux" life at the expense of the desperately poor. Wealthy children are raised by nanny bots and have proxies to endure punishments that they themselves have earned.
This story shows a future where tech is implanted in humans and identities can be altered by slapping on a patch. Hackers carry their tech with them and work on the fly to gain access or alter evidence.
This story kept me wide-eyed and breathless as I waited for the next surprise twist in the plot. They kept coming.
The characters are dynamic and the interactions between them felt real. The overarching theme of debt and repayment timely and relevant today, with extreme excess and poverty existing side by side.
I liked everything about this book and even though it works as a stand alone, I look forward to the next.
