Description
There has never been a pandemic like this one. Threatened by a virus that can kill in hours, all but trapping them in their homes, citizens feel their humanity being stripped away.
Resistant to all vaccines, spreading in hyper clusters and leaving only husks behind, it is a disease bigger and faster than society can handle. In an effort to curb misinformation and slow the virus's spread, the government bans all devices except a single television set in every home, issuing biometric watches that put strict limits on peoples' time outside. Food is restricted to a single source. Disobedience is a serious crime.
Phillip Fine knows what happens to disobedient people. He's the one who drives them to prison. He also knows their fate once they get there: to be guinea pigs in an endless search for a cure.
It's an awful thing. Phillip would ignore it if he could -- most people do. But he can't, because his father's in that prison, too. As long as Phillip keeps driving, Pop stays alive.
In the vein of classics such as George Orwell's 1984 and Yevgeny Zamyatin's We, as well as the contemporary dystopias of Ariel S. Winter and Eric Barnes, Phillip Drives the Dead explores the depravity -- and heroism -- of the human condition in a world where death is too close.
