Neal Bialostosky was passionate about writing a science fiction novel. With his unique perspective, he has written a book, What Do You Think, Mr. Collins?

This book belongs to the fantasy sci-fi thriller genre. It satirizes the Trump/Clinton campaign. It offers a unique combination of science fiction and social commentary. This book is highly imaginative and explores the darker side of politics and technology. It explores themes such as free will, dreamscapes, androids, corrupt media, immigrants, racism, a terrorist attack, and the Chinese mafia. The visual representation of various fantastical elements, including an acid trip, magical creatures, and social issues, adds depth to the story.

The story is set in the city of Paradise, where artificial intelligence is taking jobs from humans at an increasing rate. The plot revolves around the mayoral race between Teresa Vasquez, the current mayor, and Gregory Lind, a reality TV star and business tycoon, also known as the Black Hole. The table turns, and Alfred, a conscious AI butler, grows in power. He addresses the challenges faced by the city. Amidst this, Ben Collins, a computer network manager, finds himself trapped in a conspiracy when the Chairman and CEO of Personal Androids Incorporated, Sydney Maddow, gets involved with the Black Hole.

The author's creativity shines during the scenic description and clever dialogue writing. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is engaging. They have a flaw that makes them relatable. Neal has done an excellent job of creating a dystopian world that is both believable and terrifying.

What Do You Think, Mr. Collins? by Neal Bialostosky is an appealing science fiction novel based in Paradise City. It satirizes the dual mentality of humans. It pictures the world where both humans and AI live together. It excites fans of science fiction and dystopian novels.

The book is challenging due to its complex narrative and unconventional themes. It also contains some explicit language and violence, so it is recommended for mature readers. This book is professionally edited, with almost zero errors. Thus, I will rate What Do You Think, Mr. Collins? 5 out of 5 stars.
