I just read a sample of this book, and I must admit that it looks fascinating. I'd like to know if he ever gets out from under Mr. Mitler's control, and how he does if he does. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

This book is a well-written and thought-provoking book that tackles relevant issues in a realistic near-future setting. The plot is engaging and suspenseful, and the protagonist's character is relatable and well-developed. The inclusion of political ideologies and internal monologues makes the book more insightful and introspective. Congrats on the BOTD.

Great review! Normally, I don’t read dystopian novels about the future, because they can be a bit boring, but I absolutely love mystery thrillers, and this one sounds amazing. I love the detail about the plot and what you liked about the book. Just from reading your review, I really want to know what Mr. Mitey’s plan is and how the main character will change over time as he’s forced to think about his beliefs. Well done on this great review!

Rickey would be an interesting character. I'm eager to know how he would handle the pressure from his boss and the urge to do the right thing.

I'm already too old to cope with today's technology. Will I survive the 2050 depicted here? Humans don't need aliens to ruin the world. We can do it on our own. Scary stuff!

This book: *Rickey Montey, Hero of His Age* by Richard Hamerski, sounds quite fascinating. Set in a future where there are few jobs and AI has begun to take over a bit? This is sure to be an engrossing read!

It will be interesting to see how the world adapts as more and more jobs become automated over time and whether it will be similar to this book.

And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price

Since AI is in the spotlight these days, I think that this book that highlights a bleak and dark future would be a great fit. Congrats on BOTD!

Thank you for your thorough review. As the book mainly talks about a futuristic society and political ideologies, I don’t think it is for me. Regardless, congrats on the BOTD.

The corporate world is in complete contradiction to my life philosophy, everything I believe in goes against depersonalized attitude they promote, erasing humanity and turning in bolts in their giant machine. No offence, but due setting I will prefer to skip the book, congrats with BOTD, anyway!

This review is descriptive. I applaud the author for the interesting plot I’m sensing in this well-informed review. Technology taking over the world seems scary to me, though. I’m well invested in learning the approach Rickey Montey took in getting out of the mess he got into in the process of trying to earn a living.
