Final Notice By Van Fleisher
The book is centered around a new sports watch known as VitalTech 2 or VT2, currently undergoing user testing. In addition to the innovations of measuring and diagnosing complex health issues, the watch features an impressive attribute known as ‘Final Notice’. This feature is set to accurately predict death within thirty days, through analysis of trends detected in the blood of the wearer. Tests are being conducted on persons above the age of sixty-five years, who are in relatively good health. The final notice message has been found to elicit varying reactions from the testers ranging from mild to extreme measures.
Closely related to the reactions elicited by the testers who receive the final notice is the ease of gun ownership and the resultant probability of usage. This is particularly critical at this time when National Rifles Association’s (NRA) has put up a spirited and successful campaign to make guns more accessible to all, with a discounted gun purchase offer to seniors. Vince Fuller, the protagonist of the book, together with his wife Trudy, go through an intense soul-searching process as they make their joint decision on whether to acquire a gun.
The book has a well-structured and easy flow that makes it pleasant to read. The author is very conversant with and/or has researched extensively on marketing and launch of new product processes in the real business world. The end result is one of pragmatic delivery without too much technical language. I like the seamless interaction of the various characters of the book from the innovation, research and marketing teams of this new product to the testers and health practitioners and to the investigators. The experiences of the testers, right down to their thought processes when they receive their notices, are well narrated too.
I dislike that the book is heavily skewed to only one general area of reactions from testers. It would have given the book a more balanced perspective if a wider scope of reactions had been included. I also disliked Trudy’s actions at the NRA convention. There should have been a better way of proving a point without the consequences generated. Further, she shows no remorse at what she most probably considers collateral damage.
The book is exceptionally edited with hardly any errors. I give it a rating of 4 out 4. It would make an intriguing read for adult readers who will discern this is a work of pure fiction which in no way calls for emulation.
