This is a top-notch story with serious Margaret Atwood vibes, and I can’t wait for people to put themselves in Ben Winters’s imagination! I mean, no white lies, no false advertising, no lying with good intentions. This book is so inventive and the writing so believable that I got goosebumps imagining a world where no one could lie. So when the people who make the rules start breaking the rules, it’s up to Laszlo and his fellow Service members to fight back against corruption and bring truth to the people-so long as they can figure out who to trust. Like, their spidey senses actually tingle when someone isn’t being truthful (!), allowing them to seek out and punish liars. Laszlo Ratesic is a skilled member of the Speculative Service, a special branch of the Golden State government that employs a select few who can sense when lies are being told. ![]() A wildly imaginative tale of a future California where citizens are subject to constant scrutiny, and lying is the most serious offense a person can commit? Yikes-and count me in. So when I got my hands on Golden State I was thrilled. ![]() The future is no place for liars in this Orwellian thriller about surveillance and secrets. ![]()
