And Gone Tomorrow

Set in a dystopian future the novel explores themes of mortality human consciousness and societal control. The story is set in a world where technological advancements have led to a highly controlled and regulated society but at a great cost to personal freedom and individuality. The protagonist is a man who becomes aware of the sinister underpinnings of the society he lives in particularly the ways in which the government or ruling powers manipulate and control the population. The title And Gone Tomorrow suggests the ephemeral nature of life and the looming threat of erasure—whether of memory identity or life itself—by those in power.
