Ad Man in the Games of 2046

Ad Man in the Games of 2046

ByJeffrey Zygmont

Ad Man in the Games of 2046 makes poignant social commentary by using the device employed by Anthony Burgess in A Clockwork Orange. The novel projects contemporary American values and current social practices to extreme conclusions, to show their absurdity. Thus, in 2046, the working class speaks in a crude English dialect that segregates it from the ruling elite. America’s unionized military engages in eco-colonialism. Driving is outlawed, but roads remain crowded. But the social commentary is subtle and transparently integrated into the larger tale. Above all, Ad Man is a story of one person’s fundamental humanity asserting itself above inhibiting institutions.
