Perfect for you if...

  • You're drawn to tight, propulsive plots that explore what happens when privacy vanishes and the state controls everything.
  • You enjoy protagonists who are ordinary people forced into extraordinary circumstances, not superhero action heroes.
  • You want near-future dystopian fiction that feels plausible and unsettling rather than fantastical.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need lengthy character development and introspection. This is a lean 166-page thriller that moves fast.
  • You prefer uplifting stories or clear heroic victories. This is a morally complicated survival story.
  • You're looking for large ensemble casts or complex world-building. This focuses tightly on one man's impossible choice.

About this book

Electronic Gags depicts a dystopian United States under authoritarian rule. Following a military coup, the country becomes an autocracy led by President Brandon Ward, a megalomaniac who implements a surveillance system capable of monitoring people's private conversations. Privacy is eliminated. Freddie's circumstances shift dramatically when the government arrests his best friend Michael for attending an opposition meeting. Michael's mother blames Freddie for her son's arrest. Facing accusations and with Michael facing execution, Freddie must prove his innocence and rescue his friend. To do so, he must overthrow the government. Freddie is not a typical action hero—he is an overweight biologist employed at a wildlife refuge. The government monitors him, as it monitors everyone.
