a brainwashed humanity serves a privileged few - Sleep State Interrupt by T.C. Weber

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading Sleep State Interrupt by Ted Weber.
Sleep State Interrupt is good reading for what it is and for what it means. It is a fast paced tale of how societal cast offs: [...] 
They break the law without breaking moral boundaries (how do they do that?!) and I found myself wishing for their success and fearing their failure." Carolivia, Goodreads


Description:

Awards: 2017 Compton Crook Finalist for best first science fiction novel!

In Sleep State Interrupt, a giant media corporation has taken over the Internet, created an addictive virtual reality called BetterWorld, and controls nearly all information. Politicians do their bidding and a brainwashed humanity serves a privileged few.

Waylee Freid, an unemployed Baltimore journalist with ever-worsening bipolar disorder, is the only hope for a brighter future. She and her countercultural friends bust a notorious teenage hacker out of jail and sneak into a closed presidential fundraiser at the Smithsonian castle, where they hope to record incriminating admissions that will wake up the world.

Hunted by Homeland Security, Waylee and her friends must reach a sufficient audience by broadcasting their video during the Super Bowl. But to do so, they'll have to break into one of the most secure facilities ever built.
