Description from the author:
"Twenty-nine-year-old Lana is a social-media fanatic and climate-change activist, born into a world where criminals are executed to reduce the population. The majority of citizens—Lana included—are content with the system, but overcrowding is still a problem.
Faced with intolerable pollution levels, the government secretly uses social media to assess whether or not a user must face execution. The plan gets leaked, and a cull list is released to the public.
Lana is on the list.
Forced into a life on the run, she takes refuge in a remote lake house with her boyfriend. In her new world of paranoia and isolation, Lana must learn to survive without safety, family, and technology to evade the cull.
Without a keyboard to hide behind, Lana is compelled to re-examine how well she knows herself and how she wound up a fugitive in the first place—and the answers might hit painfully close to home. "

I have read a few of Steven Jenkins' books before as I like to partake in a little escapism to the dark side every now and again and I have to say that I quite enjoyed this.
The "Social Cull" is based on a short story called "The Cull" which appeared in "Little Horrors Vol. 1". It is a story of the lengths the world will go to to save the planet due to climate change and how people's behaviour, particularly on social media, comes back to bite them in the behind and whilst I don't condone the actions of the government in this book, I do wish there were consequences for trolls and generally nasty people who post unnecessary hate online.
A very thought-provoking book that had me thinking and I must thank the author for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this disturbing and thought-provoking book.
