Logging Off
Last modified: January 18, 2012
In 2095, every facet of society runs perfectly by computers and advanced technology. Citizens like Britannia Stone conduct their lives effortlessly with a genetically embedded barcode linked to Central, the world government. But this easy lifestyle, one without economical hardships, crime and disease, comes with a price—the freedom of choice. Now world citizens are beginning to mysteriously disappear. John Ettinger, a society inactive and member of the underground group called the Starters, knows the reason why. With the help of Kendall Knowlton, a highly-gifted psychic child, it becomes a race against time as Britannia and John join forces before they are next to disappear. They must stay alive long enough to reach Central’s mainframe and destroy the enemy before the enemy destroys all of mankind.

Goodreads.com Review:
“I always look for books on dystopias and, lately, there are lots of those. This is a good one. I almost wish that the society had worked out. The fact that people have the choice to be citizens are not is enough choice for me. But, as usual, the machines mess everything up and extraordinary people do their best to fix it.”
“Logging Off – what a great page turner, fun, Intriguing, scary futuristic read. The Bird was extremely curious about the date of publication, to the devices mentioned in the book. This Caitlin McKenna – is she part Bird? Because she had written about devices that had not yet been invented at the time of publishing, yet are part of daily life now.”

This review is from: Logging Off (Paperback) - Amazon.com
It’s 2095, and technology is literally running the world. Picture this: life without disease, no crime, no financial worries. Because of computers, life has become highly efficient and outrageously comfortable. But can life ever be this easy? The answer becomes increasingly obvious as people who question the status quo begin to disappear and humans realize they don’t know who’s really calling the shots – the humans or the computers.
I don’t usually go for science fiction, or thrillers for that matter, but this is one intriguing story I highly recommend.
Pasadena Weekly - By Karen Apostolina
“It all started as a dream – or maybe a nightmare. Caitlin McKenna woke one morning in her Pasadena bedroom and, instead of heading for the breakfast table, grabbed her journal and started frantically writing down everything she could recall from the very vivid, very complex dream she’d just had. Thirty-seven pages later she had the rough draft of “Logging Off,” a tale of utopia gone bad, starring corrupted computers, egotistical robots, and the humans who must battle them before the world dissolves into a smoldering heap of scrap metal. But wait – it’s a love story too!” – READ THE REST HERE
