Freddie the Teacher

Novel, light SF, England, dystopia, violence, 2075

Non-violent Freddie can’t avoid being a violent video game character in Colchester 2075. He gets sucked into brutality and betrayal to survive. He’s an inspiring teacher which leads loyal pupils into dangerous situations which allows them to show skills and resolution. Is there any way to beat violence, disappearances, state corruption and economic collapse? If there is then Freddy has no alternative but to walk the tightrope.

In this book I look at how violence is accepted and made acceptable, the human cost of being a leader and harnessing collective goodwill to break the cycle of retribution.
