Greenhouse

The Greenhouse is an uncompromising, fast-paced sci-fi novel about the decisions we are faced with and the consequences we must then face.
When Riley Diaz is imprisoned under a mysterious new defense law, she finds herself in one of America' s rapidly growing Recovery Centers - facilities modeled after psychiatric hospitals - where she is to undergo mandatory reeducation. The ASO program uses underhanded strategies such as forced therapy, involuntary medication, solitary confinement, limited food rations, and more to break dissidents. Surrender, and you are free. Resist and.
Alone, Riley declares war on lies and manipulation, seeking to destroy the ASO program and its white-coated operatives. Although she is isolated and not exactly loved by her fellow inmates, she eventually gains their trust and forms a strong bond with a mysterious patient known only as Frankenstein, who is as enigmatic as his namesake. Sometimes, at the beginning of the destruction of an unjust system, there is only one person who is willing to stand up and say " no" despite everything - even when they feel like they cannot stand up. And Riley Diaz is ready to break the Greenhouse at any cost.
Renowned American writer, screenwriter and producer J. Michael Straczynski takes readers on a fascinating journey inspired by troubling contemporary issues, such as the restrictions on freedom of expression.
