I've just finished reading this story myself. I recommend it to your book collection.
I found that I like some of the twists which Jerry has applied as compared to more "traditional" distopian fiction.
I don't want to give away too much, but I think you'll like "Penny".
I will comment on the particular "event" around which the story is based. It involves "Digital Addiction" also know as "Gaming Addiction". I can relate to this because I also play computer games, but not online games. However, people in my household DO show signs of this affliction.
A key part of Jerry's story is that this syndrome has been used as a psychological weapon. 'Nuf said.
Jerry; I expect a sequel somewhere down the road...
