Présentation de l'éditeur
In his debut novel, Mal Jones raises concerns about the way the welfare system is run as a target-driven business, rather than as a caring and compassionate helping hand. This frustration is the motivation behind Can Openers, an intense dystopian thriller exploring our current systems and where they may lead us. Every aspect of life is determined by a rigid framework set down by the authoritarian Dependency Department - a department that organises people by an evidence-based science. Believing the poor are feckless, and self-reliance should be encouraged, Frederick Smyth is approaching the peak of his career. Currently the head of the district unit, Frederick and his ambitions of promotion are thwarted as a shocking and brutal murder turns his life upside-down. This darkly comic novel is full of surprising twists that keep the reader guessing. Set in a near-future society where survival of the fittest is state policy, this novel is a stark warning of where our society may be heading.
Biographie de l'auteur
Mal Jones lives in North West England with his partner and cat. He is a social worker for an emergency duty team and is a socialist, political activist, shop steward and supporter of social work action network. Having worked in the public sector for thirty years, Mal has seen many front line workers doing their utmost to offer support and compassion in very difficult times; he is concerned that the welfare budget is being run as a business, where private companies make vast profits from those who are unwell and in acute distress. This novel reflects his fear of what could happen if we do not stand up for the welfare state and where the present policies on austerity could lead.
