Publisher's Summary:

Ruled by the evil White cockroaches, on an oppressive plantation, Anton Indigo, Antrea Violet, and a thousand other ants escape to seek freedom on Ant Farm. When they arrive, although their lives are not utopian, the tiny insects find themselves with much more freedom and prosperity than ever before. Can the ants maintain this positive new lifestyle? Or will some of the more power-hungry bugs prevail, and deteriorate the new society into the same nightmare from which they escaped in the first place? A tribute to a George Orwell classic, and simultaneously a nod to those who pursue liberty across the globe, Stephen Aaron Grey's Ant Farm addresses issues like the current global economic crisis, gun control, drug prohibition, measures toward national security, and a host of others in its own unique way that is sure to attract attention as a new classic.

Save your time and money

I give the author credit for an interesting premise and carrying it through to the end, but the story is quite lacking. It all plays out from a perspective that cant seem to consider the complexities of human societal interaction. As is so often seen in amateur dystopian fiction, everything seems to fall in to place for the author's voluntaryist vision at first. Plenty of resources and cooperation from all, then people start voting stupidly, entirely forgetting about the reasons they began the experimental utopia. Its very shallow and happens far to quickly. Sadly, this premise could have been better exploited. This is no Animal Farm.

An excellent thought-provoking read

Insightful & honest. An excellent thought-provoking read.

A great read.

A modern twist on the George Orwell classic "Animal Farm", this story is a thinly veiled metaphor for the concepts of invasive government overreach and social inequality. A great read.

A great Orwellian tale from a smart young author

A great Orwellian tale from a smart young author, Stephen Aaron Grey, his first novel, "Ant Farm" articulates brilliantly the question of how far freedoms should be extended before the concept implodes and causes uncontrollable havoc. Grey's story deals with a group of ants who escape from a brutal, restrictive world ruled by domineering cockroaches. The ants dream of a utopia which ultimately becomes unobtainable. As the satirical tale unfolds, "Ant Farm" addresses issues such as the current global economic crisis, gun control and national security. The book's insights are sure to spur conversation and much like Orwell's "Animal Farm," should become a classic as it intelligently weighs the cost liberty.

Not your run-of-the-mill book

A very refreshing read, unlike any other book I've ever read. The subject is one that everyone can identify with and relate to. I'm going to suggest this book to my book club because its a great conversation starter with thought-provoking subject matter. This book is a reminder of how easy it is to become complacent and obedient when an individual or entity shows force. My kids have almost reached school age, and I am particularly attune to teaching them not to blindly follow authority without questioning and challenging first. I would definitely recommend this book to parents, grandparents, students, book club members, and anyone else!
