Alien Nation -

. .

Résumé :
One Mind. One Nation. With Murder and Mayhem for All. Welcome to Anthem, the perfect meritocracy. Here, apex predators are allowed to flourish in all their excesses. No compassion, no morality, only pure, unadulterated ambition. Anyone who fails to become a psychopath gets replaced by One Mind. Service android Jason Freeman was built to serve, not to kill. Even after years of therapy to fix him, he remains too meek, too human. But when the All-Father grants him a pardon, Jason must infiltrate Anthem's pantheon of elites, where murder is the ultimate currency. Meanwhile, Prince Marcus Kane, heir to a bloodstained throne, has spent his life feigning the ruthless ambition his father demands. As whispers of unnatural abilities spread and Anthem teeters on the brink, Marcus must choose-uphold his legacy or burn it all down. Because when psychopaths smell blood, no one is safe....

Biographie:
Alien Nation is a psychological dystopia about a world where everyone aspires to be a psychopath-and those who fail are replaced. Jason Freeman is a service android who wasn't built to have ambition. But in the utopia of Anthem, where empathy is a defect and tyranny is the highest virtue, failure means erasure. After years of trying to fit in, Jason is sentenced to replacement. His only way out is a last-minute pardon from the All-Father himself. To survive, Jason must become the very thing he fears: a psychopath. At the center of power is Marcus Kane, a prince raised by sadists, trained to rule, and haunted by the desire to be free. On the surface, he has everything. In private, he wants to burn it all down. As their paths converge, Jason and Marcus are drawn into a culture that turns therapy into punishment, rebellion into ritual, and morality into performance.??? In this dark, satirical vision of the future, authenticity is a crime, and revolution is just another form of control. Alien Nation is a novel about conformity, identity, and the quiet violence of systems that claim to save you....
