Paradise Gardens Susan I Weinstein

Fiction. Weinstein's PARADISE GARDENS is an Orwellian speculative fiction set in a near future world, where the Federal government has dissolved amid ecological breakdown. PARADISE GARDENS becomes the home of the United Business Estates (U. B. E). Capitalism has devolved into the corporate feudalism of the U. B. E., where employees are conceived as Superior or Average to fit the needs of business. It is a vision at once strange and familiar. The recognition it brings is a dark pleasure.
