Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. It's 2051 in this riff on Orwell's 1984, and Big Brother this time is the One Percent. All company mergers have been completed, and a cabal of super-wealthy individuals have merged their last, single, monolithic corporation into a world government that controls everything. Sure, everyone gets to vote as a shareholder, but some shareholders have more shares than others. There are a couple interesting ideas and chilling moments to be found, but this mostly plays out in a plodding and uneventful manner as an investigative journalist interviews a lot of talking heads on his road to discovering how the plutocracy came to be and why that knowledge doesn't necessarily matter. The art is okay but the coloring is all murky grays and greens. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
2051. The world's largest company, The Company, has seized power on a planetary scale and runs the world as if it were a business. In a plutocracy, the richer one is, the more powerful one is. In this context, an anonymous citizen becomes compelled to uncover how the world came to this situation, without paying any attention to the official version. Several members of the government end up encouraging him to carry out this investigation by giving him access to all information. He decides to discover the true history of The Company and the various interests that are trying to influence his investigation. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
