I really liked this book. It was quite dark and dysctopian. England is in lockdown, now called the Independent Republic of Britian it's controlled by a police force called ACID. They choose your life partner, your job, when you have a baby and even the gender of your child. They can even change your memories so that you do what they want. So that you think what they want you too. 
 it put me in mind of Orwells 1984.
