This kind of story was something I'd never really encountered in the past books that I had read. And I am into characters whose psychological state was not easy to fathom. I just love their unique perspective in some things. I would surely love this book, thank you for you review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting and strange science fiction novel set in the future following a psychotic anti-hero and his companion/pet, a genetically modified fox child, as they plot to destroy the current state of society. It does not help when the main character is delusional and thinks he is devil and that the way to save humanity is through him. Will he succeed in his delusion or will his companion keep him grounded in reality? It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Dystopian novels always attract my attention as they portray the futuristic world in an entirely different form. In 2084, the story seems to revolve around a psychotic protagonist who wants to change the world according to his whims and fancies, and I would like to observe the other side of this futuristic world.

A dark fiction that questions the human mind and sanity sounds like a fun read. It will be nice to read something different from the usual dark fiction stories. Great review.

I love dystopian literature and the idea of a "likable, if psychotic, anti-hero" is absolutely intriguing.

"2084" is book two of this series and the villain is a psychotic protagonist. Dune is a master philosopher and a psychotic genius that believes he is the devil and that humanity's only way out of Hell is through him. Fennec, Dune's lover, was genetically modified to look like a fox. The author combined elements of novels like 1984, Gattaca, The Giver and Hunger Games and turned them into a mind-bending reality. The official reviewer believes the story will resonate in reader's brains for years to come. A futuristic book that hopefully does not come true.

Your review was insightful. The physcho protagonist idea was right up my alley. And it's wonderful how the author depicts the protagonist as both physchotic and structured.

This novel reminds me of other dystopian books that were published about a decade ago because of how similar their premise is. However, I must say that this kind of premise really is intriguing because of how different its endings can be. I congratulate the author for Book of the Day!

I am must confess this book is a tough one, I read it over many times.
But I realized the story is very broad. The Character of Dune intrigues me. It's a must read for me. Intelligent review.

Love the character of the Dune. An anti-hero who wants to destroy utopia. Now, this sounds like something epic. Would love to read this fiction.

Although the book seems to be disturbingly graphic, I am sure I'll enjoy it due to the dark sci-fi characters. Amazing review.

Whether you’re huddling under a maintenance ladder while chaos runs rampant around you or delving through dark tunnels, you see through Dune’s eyes and live within his mind. The experience is rich, surreal, and sometimes disturbing.
Excellent review! Given your description of this book, a reader would have to be willing to fully invest in the viewpoint and goals of the protagonist, Dune. It sounds like the author succeeded in making this possible. It sounds dark but engaging.
