Vigilance

A dark science fiction action parable about an America that has permanently surrendered to gun violence from a award-winning author. The United States. 2030. John McDean executive produces Vigilance, a reality game show designed to make sure American citizens stay alert to foreign and domestic threats. Shooters are introduced into a "game environment," and the survivors get a cash prize. The TV audience is not the only one that's watching though, and McDean soon finds out what it's like to be on the other side of the camera. "Bursting with sharp insights and savage anger, Vigilance is disturbing and in no way palliative. It's also grimly clever, searingly relevant, and maybe even necessary. And it's not something you'll forget anytime soon." —NPR "Vigilance is less a story than an intensely distilled mood, an atmosphere wrought out of the US's worst instincts and dystopian obsessions, like Stephen King's The Running Man, but with its gamified violence updated for the 21st century and made totalizing, all-consuming, and entirely manipulated to deliver sales from advertising. Forget The Hunger Games: Vigilance doesn't think half so small." —Locus
