About this listen
AntiAmerica stands at the center of the largest US anarchist uprising in 100 years.
When hacktivist group AntiAmerica hacks the nation's largest banks, the financial industry is left teetering on the brink of collapse. Hacker and teen runaway Alanna Blake is forcefully recruited by the government to track down the only link to AntiAmerica, her missing ex-boyfriend Javier. She relies on every bit of her social engineering cunning to navigate a conspiracy of lies and deceit, which imperils both the lives of everyone closest to her and the secrets to a past she longs to remain locked away forever.
This book contains content surrounding drug abuse, mental illness, physical abuse, and suicide.

The book is intriguing, exciting and, although the more technical aspects of what she was doing were explained, often went beyond this reader's comprehension. This didn't matter, though. The sheer speed of the ongoing action just swept everything along. And always the question, just who was behind the fast growing protest group, AntiAmerica?
The narrator, Molly Lankford reads as fast as the action of the book is written - it is rather disconcerting at first. And although her diction is clear, the downturn in cadence at the end of most sentences made the delivery depressing and the speed gave her voice a touch of unwelcome abrasiveness. Reducing playback speed to 0.75 greatly improved this and allowed the attractive tonal qualities of her reading to be heard. One major problem, however, was her not attempting to give separate voicing to the fairly numerous protagonists, other than a pseudo accent for two of them. This would not have been usually have caused difficu!ties but in this case, where areas of the book depend on conversation between characters with no ascribed names given, it made determining who was saying what rather tricky.
My thanks to the rights holder of AntiAmerica, who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. It was a really fast ride and, despite the small problems mentioned above, totally absorbing. None of the characters were empathic and get there was a magnetic quality to the story which kept me totally engage, a bit like watching a car crash, I suppose, or an avalanche rolling down towards a low lying village. Mesmeric and unstoppable.
If you like your action non stop fast, this could well be for you.
There's nowhere you can hide.
