About the book

Robert Jackson Bennett's Vigilance is a dark science fiction action parable from an America that has permanently surrendered to gun violence.

The United States. 2030. John McDean executive produces "Vigilance," a reality game show designed to make sure American citizens stay alert to foreign and domestic threats. Shooters are introduced into a "game environment," and the survivors get a cash prize.

The TV audience is not the only one that's watching though, and McDean soon finds out what it's like to be on the other side of the camera.

    What would happen if the current far-right movement in the US became mainstream enough to represent the vast majority of the US population? This book tries a spin on that and throws in the commercialisation of fear (via televised and ad-supported mass shootings). On the one hand, it's a cool idea. On the other, this book is also too damn American. I really couldn't relate to any of it. And it lacked some nuance, which is a shame even though that was of course intended.
