    About this ebook

    p>What if you had a chance to fix the worst mistake of your life…but only made things worse? The Rage Room dives into dystopia with an extraordinary tale about choices and second chances. Set in 2055, our plastic world is run by robots, fueled by consumerism, twisted religion, and virtual data. Satellites control the weather, food is grown in laboratories. Arts and culture are distant memories. Beneath the sunny skies and behind the garbage-free suburban McMansions live deeply disturbed, materialistic families. Prescribed visits to rage rooms lance anger, boredom, and discontent but the Band-Aid fix hides disturbing governmental motives. A provocative exploration of subliminal societal messages,The Rage Room is an action-packed story of unravelling and alternate realities, of disturbing and searching re-runs. Can an army of feminist hackers restore Mother Nature? Can love triumph over fear? And, ultimately, can the children be saved? Sharps Barkley jumps back in time and finds that changing the future isn’t as easy as he thought.
