Conspiracy. Conspiracy. If you weren’t paranoid before reading The Road to the White House you will definitely be after you
finish this one. The book starts off with a government
committee discussing the future of their organization. Seems harmless enough. Conversations about the next candidate for governor, how can they support his campaign that sort of thing. Then, out of left field there’s a huge twist. The committee decides that the best way to support this candidate is to get control of the voting software that was installed after the 2000 voting irregularities. The story then quickly turns to a soldier, a very patriotic and somewhat annoyingly dramatic one at that. Again, his story seems pretty normal. He wants to be a pilot, his mother is afraid he’ll be hurt. Then, within a few pages the poor guy is told he has cancer and is paralysed and then told that there is no sign of cancer,
paralysis, or any indications of an injury that could have caused any sort of paralysis. You won’t believe how the two stories are connected.The Road to the White House is a little over the top with its actions and characters but in doing so it makes the point of the piece more obvious and easier to grasp.
