Electron: Those Who Cast the Votes Decide Nothing — Gary Naiman

""Those who cast the votes decide nothing, those who count the votes decide everything." (Josef Stalin, Dictator, U.S.S.R.)A professor of cyber security uncovers a global conspiracy threatening our most precious freedom, our right to elect our leaders. With powerful forces trying to stop him, Dr. Jonas Larsen must overcome his bitter military past to fight a final battle for the nation he still loves. Author's Note: In 1952, a primitive UNIVAC computer successfully predicted the winner of the Eisenhower vs. Stevenson presidential election. In the years since, computers have accurately predicted election winners from tiny samplings of incoming votes - or have they gone further and created those winners? ELECTRON ACTUALLY EXISTS in another name. Its voting machines determine our fate every four years, YET IT HAS NEVER BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT."Reminiscent of "Seven Days in May." (AC)"Scary, but it does raise an eyebrow. Interesting that an HBO documentary on this subject was quickly cancelled." (LM)"Well written with a couple of surprises, but most important is the possibility that the book's fictitious company may actually exist. If one company controls the majority of our vote, the author might be taking us beyond fiction. Interesting proposition." (LC)Gary Naiman has written fourteen novels. His background includes classified projects within the chemical and weapons industries. One of his books, P.P.M, is being considered for a motion picture."
