Silent Consent Kindle Edition

The dystopian world of Silent Consent thrusts readers into a grim, plausible future. Since the end of the carbon era and the collapse of the old empire, the Founder States have used the draconian demotions proposed by Rene Strongbow and Lucrecia Tarquin to punish energy crimes and nepotism. Humans, being what they are, corrupted the system meant to end corruption. As a result, a society that has modeled itself on a warped sense of classical pride, one that preaches that the convicts deserve whatever they get, has begun to implode

The world's dependence on fossil fuels has become a relic of the past, and human labor now supports the lifestyle of a few powerful clans and a ruthless political regime dedicated to maintaining control of the remaining resources. Over the disenfranchised and political dissidents looms the threat of 'demotion' - a grim fate that reduces them to mere objects.
Amidst this oppressive backdrop, a courageous few recognize the injustice of this world and, despite societal pressures, cannot shut their eyes against it. 'Silent Consent' leads us on a perilous journey through the lives of those who dare to challenge the status quo, offering a poignant exploration of their struggles in a society teetering on the brink of darkness.

Silent Consent looks not at a technologically advanced future for which we may hope. Instead, it foresees what could happen if we don’t conserve resources for our descendants. It gives a raw vision of a world where our descendants live within our legacy of pollution, greed, and waste.

I received my Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Toronto. I have taught a wide range of classes in biology, but I usually describe myself as being in charge of creepy-crawlies. (It just answers so many questions for most people.) I became interested in creative writing while pursuing my doctorate. I teach upper-division zoology and introductory biology classes full-time. I also volunteer as a dean at Noble International University.

My writing interests are a bit eclectic. I, therefore, have chosen to use pseudonyms to differentiate between my types of books

circa24 = fiction aimed at older audiences (not sexual, but with adult themes that some may consider inappropriate for children

Ptera Hunter = nonfiction and aimed at children over eight to adults

Moneen Jones
5.0 out of 5 stars What a page turner!
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2022
I'll admit when I first started reading the book and saw the words 'head job', I was thinking it was going to be a bit perverse. Then the details of the rituals for the future law enforcement personnel made themselves clear. This novel will not only shock you with the socio-economics of the United States following a carbon-era energy crises, but you learn the psychological changes in human behaviors. The characters are complex, and right when you think you know what is going to happen the author surprises you.

The main characters range from the super privileged to the lowest of the low, the 'nameless'. You learn what shaped their personalities and spend some time in their shoes as you learn their successes and failures. You may not always agree with or even like an individual in the book, but you will learn to understand what drives them.

Repetitive themes of energy crimes and punishment make you wonder whether or not humans are innately cruel or sadist, or if their life experiences molded each generation a bit further from their empathetic ancestors. However, not to sound entirely depressive, there are still the 'good guys' that fight the ever-present mean monsters.

The book really makes you self-reflect on climate change, the reduction in natural energy reserves, and what exactly is the worth of a human being?
