Here Are My Demands - Paperback

by Andrew Roff (Author)

It's 2058 and Maggie Garewal knows that her moment has arrived. Working on policy with a newly installed government, she is desperate to use what leverage she has to secure real change: a redistributive program to help millions, stricken jobless by automation, into a purposeful life.

But progress never comes easily, especially in an augmented reality that blends truth, illusion and misdirection. Navigating manipulative politicians, public shaming, religious fundamentalists and foreign powers, Maggie is confronted with impossible decisions about the kind of future she wants for herself and her society.

Daringly speculative and yet all too recognisable, Here Are My Demands is a story about fighting on in the face of resistance, and the unprecedented hazards of a world our children have already started to inhabit.
