Golden State by Ben Winters

In Ben Winters’ imaginative new book, California is now known simply as the Golden State. Lying is forbidden in the Golden State, and every event, action, and conversation is captured and put on permanent record. The story follows an elite police division whose detectives have an innate ability to identify anomalies in the system, and a covert group of dissenters who set out to overthrow the state using (gasp!) lies! Part thriller, part mystery, with a dead body thrown in for good measure and voila! I enjoyed every minute of this book.
