This engaging andthought-provoking dystopian fiction, set in an uncomfortably credible future, explores the dangers ofnationalist ideology, state propaganda, revisionist history,and the othering of the marginalised outsider; all issuesthat continue to plague our contemporary society. Drawingon classics like Orwell’s 1984, Atwood’s The Handmaid’sTale, and Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, O’Connell channelsthe voice of his generation as his protagonist dares toquestion the status quo and alters the trajectory of a lifespent sleepwalking through injustice and atrocity. In Lichtenberg we re-learn the courage to question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLichetenberg comes to us from the perspective of Riven, an elite soldier in thecity of Raidon, the last bastion of civilisation, ostensibly beset bynomadic people considered no better than animals. O’Connellunnerves the reader by positioning them within the city, amongstmen and women immersed in its propaganda, hedonism, andbrutality.","brand":"O'connell, Tom","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51623240597843,"sku":"9781068250736","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/o-connell-tom-tom-o-connell-lichtenberg-2025-9781068250736-1184423145.jpg?v=1755211529","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/tom-oconnell-lichtenberg-2025","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
