The future is perfect. Just don't look too closely.

But his life begins to derail after learning of a connection to purple-haired, sexually confident Mira Cool, who builds her online brand by disrupting major art installations similar to his. When Santi's father is misdiagnosed and held captive by AI healthcare bots, Mira joins Santi on a fateful mission as they risk their lives to uncover the truth about the Board. Can they reveal their findings before the government tracks them down? 2084 depicts a frighteningly possible future of genetic body modification, a virtual religion, palliative entertainment, personalized porn, and chip implants that track every citizen's moods and movements. Utopia or dystopia? You be the judge. CAUTION: This book is rated 18+ (explicit sex, body horror, and menacing AI.)"

"""Finally, there's a place where the squabbling politicians are gone and technology makes everything easier. In John Dutton's engaging book, the future isn't the dystopia it used to be and we are instead cast into the lives of Santi and Mira as they get an inkling of what the future has become. Dutton immerses you in a new world, then you feel it shifting..."" - Campbell Clark, The Globe and Mail ""Referencing Orwell's classic cautionary tale of totalitarianism, while extrapolating from observable contemporary trends, Dutton's novel replaces the bleak and perpetually impoverished Stalinism of 1984 with an imagined society where freedom is willingly renounced for slavery thanks to the comforts of corporatism and the perpetual quest for the fleeting dopamine boosts afforded by tech. With wit and wry humour, Dutton has painted a portrait of an all-too-possible future."" - Edward Kay, author of At Rope's End ""John Dutton has crafted a compelling - albeit entertaining - vision of the future that feels all too eerily possible."" - Arjun Basu, author of The Reeds"
