Of course, Mr Howey is treading a genre with some pretty spectacular efforts. I have to say that having recently seen the appalling "Cloud Atlas" - read the book, its much better - and the new Judge Dredd film I found myself reading this latest stab at a dystopia with a very critical eye. the end result is Mr Howey finds himself with a new career. Of course, it subsequently has been picked up by a publisher like the "Fifty Shades." series, had the aforementioned BBC article, etc. One of those "electronic self publish" happy stories where skill at writing fiction shone past the inevitable and usual course of publisher rejection letters. I kindled this based on a BBC web article about the author who wrote a dystopian short story, conversed with his wife after seeing it pass a 1000 purchases on Amazon, and then decided to write a full blown novel, with a second and third to come.
