Jeff Walker, author

Adult; Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror; (Market)

From the author of the Outer Red series and the novella of The Long Lost War. Jeff Walker brings you a vision of a dystopian society in the far future where machines now rule over humanity. It’s George Orwell meets The Matrix in this science fiction drama about one man trying to survive in robot dominated world. Earth is now under the control of two artificially intelligent rulers. Angela and Malcolm - they govern the planet and use humanity to service their needs. David 00472 is one of those daily service attendants that must repair or do the commands of the two AI overlords. He suddenly becomes a person of interest to Angela as she takes a liking to him and helps him to improve his life. David is cautious about her true intent. Malcom, ever watchful of over all humans, wants to see why David 00472 has become Angela’s pet project.

I have never written and published a book, so I give much credit to the author on accomplishing this feat.

At the end of the book, the author writes a short epilogue that I think was titled ‘before you go’. In this epilogue, the author succinctly summarizes the topics they were exploring in the book. For me, the book was simply too long and I do not completely agree with the views the author expressed in the epilogue and throughout the book. Further, during the course of the book, the author (in my opinion) was unable to construct convincing arguments to support the topics they were exploring.

For me, the book felt a lot like the movie “OBLIVION” mashed with “THE GIVER” with some elements of “THE MATRIX” thrown in.

Not my cup of tea, but to each their own. Try it and see what you think.

Jeff Walker paints a bleak picture of a dystopian future ruled by two AI in Your Service is Required! David is just trying to make his way in a world ruled by machines. But when one of the AI overlords, Angela, takes a keen interest in him, David’s world gets turned upside down. Walker does a wonderful job of building a realistic picture of what an AI run world would look like, and bringing it to life through the lens of David! I loved the Anthem or 1984 feel of this one, and the twist of having two AI in charge made things really interesting. If you love classic dystopian tales mixed with sci fi, come get unshackled with Your Service is Required!
