![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
