Michael Rectenwald has written a thought experiment for our time,
the 1984 of the COVID era, where we can step back and view today's
America for what it is: a society infected not by a virus but by
collective hysteria. Thought Criminal explores the meaning of
individualism in an increasingly collectivist society, where our
thoughts are not our thoughts but those infused in us by the media
and the Collective Mind, and the very notion of free will becomes a
distant memory. This is fiction that makes us think and makes us
dream. -Kenneth R. Timmerman, NY Times best-selling author of The
Election Heist and other books
Both an allegory for our present collectivist times and a vision of
the future, Thought Criminal draws you in irresistibly from the
first pages, immersing you in a thrilling and disturbing adventure.
--Janice Fiamengo, retired Professor of English, University of
Ottawa
