The Execution Channel

Über

The Execution Channel is an alternate history science fiction novel by Ken MacLeod, which focuses on the early decades of the 21st century. The military of the United States of America and some of its allies have conducted a war on terror for some time and additional terrorist acts have continued, including an unspecified one at Rosyth in Scotland. Divisions between ethnic groups have formed as a result. The Execution Channel was nominated for a British Science Fiction award in 2007, and for both the Campbell and Clarke Awards in 2008.
The novel takes its title from a mysterious TV channel that broadcasts state-sponsored executions.
