Reddit reviews Jennifer Government

Jennifer Government is a short satirical novel that deals with this.

> Taxation has been abolished, the government has been privatized, and employees take the surname of the company they work for. It's a brave new corporate world, but you don't want to be caught without a platinum credit card--as lowly Merchandising Officer Hack Nike is about to find out. Trapped into building street cred for a new line of $2500 sneakers by shooting customers, Hack attracts the barcode-tattooed eye of the legendary Jennifer Government. A stressed-out single mom, corporate watchdog, and government agent who has to rustle up funding before she's allowed to fight crime, Jennifer Government is holding a closing down sale--and everything must go.

A whole book was written on this premise. Jennifer Government by Max Berry, the creator of NationStates, which was kind of a thing in 2004 or so. The book is excellent. You should read it.

Jennifer Government by Max Barry

read this book Jennifer Government over a decade ago that fictionally covers this scenario. very good read and would recommend.

When I read Jennifer Government in the part about where you have to give your payment information before an ambulance is dispatched, I thought, "Wow, that would never happen here." Seems to be getting there.

Jennifer Government would probably work for you.

A good book to read afterwards is 'Jennifer Government', which takes the opposing POV - the hero is living in a Anarcho-Capitalist dystopia, and works for the government.

You've already got the answer, but I liked the following two books as touching on some similar kind of dystopian themes:

David Suski, The Wired Man. Life is dominated by your social media score.

Max Barry. Jennifer Government. People and countries are owned by corporations.

This game was originally designed by author Max Barry as a sort of promotional website for his novel Jennifer Government, which is a satire of corporate oligopoly where everything (including government) has been privatized.

You might want to try Jennifer Government by Max Barry. It deals with some of these themes and has a few well-done action sequences.

I don't believe this is in the same style, but it fits up with a lot of those on your to-read list.

Jennifer Government by Max Barry - It's dystopian future but feels a little bit lighter than something like 1984, Fight Club or Fahrenheit 451. It's also a more recently published book.

I guess when I say 'lighter' its hard to explain but it felt a little like when I read Catcher in the Rye in terms of gravity.

Ever read Jennifer Government?

Comments in this thread reminded me about this game. I played it a while ago, after reading Jennifer Government, which I thought was a fun little capitalist dystopia. In this game, you are presented with scenarios where you get to describe what you'd like to sign into law, based on scenarios that your legislature has presented. You can interact with other "governments" if you like, or just see what kind of world your views would land you in.

It's not a game for those who want speedy answers. It'll pose situations over time.

He probably thinks Jennifer Government sounds like a utopia.

It's only the begining.
