When is a suicide not really a suicide? You Can Leave, a book by Laurie Calhoun, portrays a dark, troubling, dystopic world where dissenters are completely silenced whenever perceived of as dangers by ruthless sociopaths occupying the highest corridors of vitality. The narrator relays her experiences as a result of "the new mob", a coordinated network of operatives enlisted from all walks of life on the "need to find out" basis to carry out what appear to be trivial responsibilities for enticing sums of money. Lost in the labyrinth of the crazy bureaucracy run amok, the heroine graphs her path to survival using the one available means: her capacity to think. But will that be taken from her as well? Where Franz Kafka matches George Orwell matches Jorge Luis Borges, the world of You Can Leave is fraught with paranoia and dread but illuminated by the light of real reason. As the targeted protagonist uses logic exclusively to surmount hurdle after hurdle, she leaps in and from the frame created for her by the author, thus forcing the reader to confront an unsettling probability: Could this be the planet where we presently live?
