New sci-fi book imagines how an engineer becomes a dictator with implanted RFID chips

Follow David McClurry on his journey in ‘The New Deal’ by Edward Kardashian


NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edward Kardashian’s newest political sci-fi story titled “The New Deal: A Novel” (published by Archway Publishing) presents a day that American capitalism dies and begins yielding to a computer-controlled authoritarian regime.

 

David McClurry presents his latest invention, a type of radio-frequency identification (RFID) device before the department of commerce in June of 2035. Though interested by the potential applications of this new hardware in an effort to improve the American economy, the department decides to pass on David’s project. Their decision prompts him to try his luck in politics and launch his own political party three years later. Notwithstanding the lack of campaign and advertisement funds, McClurry runs for President in the fall of 2038. His political party in limbo after an unexpected arrest and beaten by John Morey of the Democratic Party, David is sentenced to ten years in federal prison for having avenged the murder of a friend. As Morey comes across David’s project the following summer, he sets him free from prison temporarily and asks him to run The Chip, hopefully improving the economy. Aware of Morey’s scheme and unable to fully carry out the Democrats’ plan, McClurry becomes the new dictator of the United States and the new leader of an unprecedented post-capitalist world.

 

“I want the readers to experience what it would be like to live in a computer-controlled, post-capitalist era and what it would be like to go from nothing to becoming the dictator, controlling everything through an up and coming technology,” Kardashian says.
