Proxy by Alex London

Kindle   Nook

Proxy reads like a dystopian retelling of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.  Class, luxuries, technology, medical care, debt, and housing separate the rich from the poor.  I liked this book.  I feel like there could be a sequel, but there doesn’t have to be.  Not all questions have to be answered.  All I could think about after I finished this was single words, impressions from the book.  I put them in a poem.  It sums up my feelings rather nicely, I think.
