Description

Demolition Night by Ross Barkan is a thought-provoking novel set in a not-too-distant future America. In this dystopian world, citizens are indefinitely contracted to megacorporations, effectively creating a system of slavery. One woman, Sundra Glassgarden, takes drastic action to change her fate by stealing a time machine with the goal of killing the mother of the charismatic president who created this oppressive regime. In 1979, Archie London, a private investigator, is on a mission to combat a gang he believes poses a threat to life in New York. His search leads him to Lolita Velez, a remarkable young woman who becomes his focus. Meanwhile, Sundra travels back in time, determined to free her future by altering the past. This satirical yet haunting novel explores themes of love, fate, and technology's impact on our lives. Through its portrayal of two seemingly unrelated storylines, Demolition Night offers a commentary on the human condition, highlighting the struggles we face in our pursuit of freedom and happiness.
