Six years after a political coup installed a new form of American government, an anonymous prisoner working in a factory gains limited access to a computer and begins to tell his story. As memories of his joyful past are compared and contrasted to the misery of his present situation, gradually the full details of a bizarre new nation emerge, a society in which old-fashioned conformity is not only prized but violently enforced by law. Those who can't-or won't-comply, are forced to participate in a hopeless and cruel charade. And then one day, the prisoner begins receiving secret messages which hint at a forthcoming revolution. . . Alternately heartbreaking and thought-provoking, The Marriage Wars is a cautionary tale that examines one possible result of ignoring the warning signs and choosing complacency over action.
