Since the takeover of the Diversity Party, a political party that had risen to power based on its ideals of diversity and equality for all, life had gotten worse in the nine megacities that made up New America. New American citizens grudgingly lived under the party’s totalitarian rule, enforced by the Home Owners Association, a body the party had created to replace the police force. In New America, you were either Diverse, abiding by the party’s principles, or Undiverse, a rebel. Thirty-year-old Amy Beckett was excited to be promoted to the HOA's Vice Commander in Maple Ridge Phase II, one of the nine megacities under the party’s rule. All her life, Amy had known only the Diverse way of life. However, her new responsibilities oblige her to cross paths with rebels, who pique her interest in a thriving Undiverse society outside her city’s walls. Amy ventures into the wild, but is she ready for what awaits her in the strange world outside the city’s walls? Find out in R. B. Bellows’ Diversity Tomorrow.
R. B. Bellows’ Diversity Tomorrow will appeal to lovers of sci-fi and dystopian novels. Weaving an intriguing plot, Bellows teases the idea of a post-cyborg era, where people are forced to live in equality under a totalitarian government, and the primary energy sources are solar and electricity. It is interesting that even in such a society, favoritism, corruption, greed, injustice, pollution, diseases, and political warfare abound. Through the story, Bellows depicts the power of brainwashing and how it eats away at the fabric of life. People have no self-identity and awareness of the good things in life. They only live on default to serve whatever purpose they have been taught. Bellows accurately depicts the cast’s sentiments, giving the story emotional depth. This allowed me to connect with them. I found Carl particularly interesting. Put behind bars for decades over his rebellious stance toward Diversity’s principles, his defiance and non-conformist personality made the narrative enthralling. This story has adventure, drama, humor, and so much more.
