![]() ![]() ![]() Winters has written a 1984 for the 21st century. " Golden State is a prescient, devastating commentary on humanity's disintegrating attachment to reality and truth, expertly told through the prism of a police-procedural, dystopian nightmare. And when those in control of the facts twist them for nefarious means, the Speculators are the only ones with the power to fight back. To monitor, verify, and enforce the truth requires a veritable panopticon of surveillance and recording. But the Golden State is less a paradise than its name might suggest. In its service, he is one of the few individuals permitted to harbor untruths, to "speculate" on what might have happened. In the Golden State, knowingly contradicting the truth is the greatest crime-and stopping those crimes is Laz's job. He lives in the Golden State, a nation standing where California once did, a place where like-minded Americans retreated after the erosion of truth and the spread of lies made public life and governance impossible. ![]() In a strange alternate society that values law and truth above all else, Laszlo Ratesic is a nineteen-year veteran of the Speculative Service. Winters comes a mind-bending novel set in a world governed by absolute truth, where lies are as dangerous as murder. From award-winning, New York Times bestselling novelist Ben H. ![]()

![]() ![]() Most of all, I think the problem all the young ‘uns are having with the film is it’s not full of dazzling CGI effects and explosive action. If you have no religious beliefs at all, then the film is a mute point. I’ve read all kinds of things about this film like, it’s cliché – what did they expect, a demon possession movie that didn’t have an exorcism in it? Or that the acting was bad – Did they want Eric Bana, who plays a NYC Detective to get all excited and jump around when he found a dead body? And, I said the same thing about young people not liking The Exorcist you have to believe in something (other than your own greatness), in order for this film to be effectiv e. You know, I don’t care that everyone jumped on this movie to give it bad reviews.

Look to the commission of mass violence, and to genocide and crimes against humanity in particular, and you start to see, everywhere, that the men who directed these acts and the men who committed them were themselves rallied and motivated by a well-stoked sense of injustice, and enabled by a seemingly righteous sense of victimhood.
