"The new 1984."

It's 2030, and AI has made trial lawyers obsolete. When a former trial lawyer, John Keys, lands in jail, he becomes embroiled in a life-and-death situation that forces him to confront a horrifying truth to gain his freedom.

John Keys is a trial lawyer and a damn good one. That is until artificial intelligence takes over the criminal justice system and makes him obsolete. Faced with the harsh reality of his new life, he lands himself in prison for good.

Luckily, his old partner finds a way out. All Keys has to do is convince a doctor falsely accused of murder by AI to plead guilty and take a plea pill to avoid a death sentence. But the doctor refuses to accept the deal and demands a trial under the old law: a jury by his human peers.

Catapulted into the heart of the murder trial, Keys uncovers a conspiracy far more heinous than anyone could imagine. Now hunted by Zon, the corporation running the smart city, for the secrets he holds, Keys must expose them before they kill him and everyone he loves.

Discredited Citizen is a thrilling dystopian novel that will keep you riveted to your seat. Order your copy now and join Keys in his fight for the truth.

Worth listening for the thrilling action and the point being made.To each his own. But I hope to heck this ain't the future.

Clever ending

I feel like that the story could have so easily turned into one long and dull sermon on evil corporations in the hands of a lesser author, but Kiesling nails it here.

Fairly believable story set in the near future.

The scary factor about this audible is that it is not set too far into the future, and with the way things are going on presently, you can easily see interesting things happening as the world progresses.

High octane story!

The writing is clear, the story progresses well, the characters are plausible, as are their reactions. The fact that I thought of Kafka while listening to it means it had a genuine impact, which means five stars.

If you get offside with the Zon, abandon hope!
