The Marriage Wars

by Lin Morris

Six years after a political coup installed a new form of American government, an anonymous prisoner working in a factory gains limited access to a computer and begins to tell his story. As memories of his joyful past are compared and contrasted to the misery of his present situation, gradually the full details of a bizarre new nation emerge, a society in which old-fashioned conformity is not only prized but violently enforced by law. Those who can’t—or won’t—comply, are forced to participate in a hopeless and cruel charade. And then one day, the prisoner begins receiving secret messages which hint at a forthcoming revolution. . . Alternately heartbreaking and thought-provoking, The Marriage Wars is a cautionary tale that examines one possible result of ignoring the warning signs and choosing complacency over action.

And when they came for me...

Fascinating and terrifying what-if, that seems all too possible.. Lin Morris has imagined the unimaginable and made it feel all too real.
