We Are Not Anonymous by Stephen Oram is a haunting dystopian novel set in a grim future where tech-elite leader Kai offers a seductive vision of progress through advanced technology. However, behind the promise of progress lurks a sinister truth: child exploitation and experimentation, which are meant to be a ‘necessary evil’ for a brighter future. Despite the growing political control, Beth and Naomi, part of the Resist and Regain Movement, are ready to rebel against the key players in power. As the stakes rise, are they ready to go against the higher authority at the risk of everything they hold dear?
We Are Not Anonymous by Stephen Oram is crafted with chilling precision. Every twist felt both inevitable and shocking. The dark atmosphere is not just a background but an expression of what the future could be. The warnings at the start were appreciated and justified. Oram did not hold anything back in the descriptions, and these added a realistic, twisted depth to the story. The characters, Naomi and Beth, have an admirable conviction to go against a higher authority, and it symbolizes how even in the most seemingly helpless cases, there are still people willing to stand up for what they believe is right. Their fight for freedom is tragic but necessary. This is the kind of book that lingers like a warning and a whisper, and I couldn’t help but pay attention. Every detail felt meticulously constructed to make me think deeply about power, obedience, resistance, and their effect on society and the ones in power. The way the story balances despair with defiance was masterful, and the flicker of rebellion was inevitable. The narrative is filled with tension, and before I knew it, I had devoured the book. This is not just a fictional tale but an unforgettable warning.
