Zoe Robertson

A bleak dystopian future that is quickly getting worse, INSATIABLE MACHINE, by Zoe Robertson, drops the reader into a world where those in power are gaining more power while those who are struggling are forced to struggle even more. A well-respected doctor specializing in medical technology, her journalist husband, and her daughter, a online video activist, are all quickly engulfed in the inevitable uprising of the oppressed to take back their place in society.
While dystopian futures on the verge of an uprising is fairly common in contemporary literature, Robertson's approach is definitely unique. The reader is introduced to many characters that each carry a singular perspective on their society. The technological conventions are fun to discover and Robertson uses them to their fullest in an entertaining way. The middle third of the book slows down a little too much, but once the action ramps up, it is exciting, no hold barred action and thrills until the somewhat predictable but still sensational ending.
Dystopian future and government conspiracy fans will definitely find INSATIABLE MACHINE a good read, but I'll go a step farther and say that most people will finish the book smiling and wondering what this civilization within the book will become.
