thanks in advance.

Answer
Hi Taylor,

Yes, I believe we are (too) dependent on life simplifying devices. I've bracketed the word 'too' because I believe there are some devices that add to daily life stresses and yet have a place in our life style.

Take Communications:
I guess the ability to be able to communicate with and actually see the person you are communicating with (Skype) is really a marvelous experience. (My daughter lives in Dublin Ireland and I live in Perth Western Australia, so we connect frequently using Skype).

If we look at 'e-mail', it can be seen as a 'blessing or curse'. A blessing for the speed of sending messages and receiving replies'. A curse for people who work, because in today's business climate where time = profit, many senders expect a prompt reply and this increases the stress and work-load of the recipient.

Home Appliances:
Again, the speed of preparing meals, boiling water, cooking and cleaning all are made possible through the use of modern devices.

The drudgery of laundry compared to a time before the development of 'washing machines' is a boon to those who have to do the laundry.

Devices that help to monitor that a baby is sleeping safely, that help people with 'sleep apnea disorders' offer an early warning in the event of something going wrong.

Similarily, devices that provide an 'early warning' system for the elderly who live alone or who are impaired in some way, provide a measure of early warning and not least, comfort for their families.

In the home: Smoke detectors are essential safety protectors.

Hope this helps.

How would you start this novel? Would you read it? (Continued in additional comments)?

I have a novel that I'm writing. I can't think of a good beginning. Help?

The year is 2096 in an alternate world that greatly differs from our own.
European democracy has completely crumbled. The leaders were corrupt and greedy, always increasing taxes until most of the continent is impoverished, starving, homeless and unemployed. Death and disease run rampant throughout the cities, and the economy is in shambles. The people no longer trust the government and are in agreement that they needed a better leader. However, no one wanted to step up and start overthrowing their government. Except for one brave man in Russia.
The man was a high-ranking army official, and he gave speeches to his men on how the time for a new kind of leadership was upon them. With his charisma, he convinced the army to help him overthrow the Russian government. It was a bloody revolution in which many people were injured or killed. The army made the citizens relocate to save the people, but drafted the strongest young men that they could find. After a bloody coup d’état, the brave man established himself as the tsar.
After the new tsar helped rebuild the economy with his advisors (the men he trusted most after the revolution) and the level of hunger, unemployment, and homelessness decreased drastically, the other European countries began to start military takeovers themselves, reestablishing monarchies in every country in Europe.
The new Europe is clean and peaceful. The media is heavily censored, as are school history textbooks. The textbooks over-dramatize and exaggerate the democratic government’s atrocities, and the heroes of the revolution are greatly glorified. The people are taught that the monarchs are close to gods, and that the countries they live in are perfect utopias. The information they receive or send on their cell phones is heavily monitored by the government. New Europe is a prospering and happy place to live.
Where there are royal families, there are heirs in need of spouses. The heir’s parents are in charge of finding someone who is good enough to marry their son or daughter. That’s where the Reproducers come in.
When the royal families had just been established all across Europe, Ian Lewis was visiting the Irish royal family, to whom he was a close friend. The prince of Ireland was ranting to Lewis about how his son, the heir, was in utero, and how he had to find him an heir. This sparked an idea in Lewis: he could breed spouses for heirs, should his wife agree to be the surrogate.
Lewis went and asked his wife if she would be interested in being the surrogate. She desperately wanted children but couldn’t have any of her own, so she agreed almost immediately. Mrs. Lewis had an artificial female embryo implanted in her, and soon, the Lewis’ were moving to a secluded part of the United States. The baby was born, and the Lewis’ raised her to be a Spouse. She was raised to be elegant and a good wife. The Irish royal family found the Spouse perfect, and soon the word spread. The Reproducers soon became a rich and popular family business.
The current Reproducers are Michael and Cynthia Lewis, who carry on the tradition well. Their daughter is Katherine Lewis, who is betrothed to the heir to the Russian throne, Leonas. She is quickly approaching her eighteenth birthday, and is one of the best Spouses in the company’s history. She’s visited Russia multiple times a year, and considers Leonas to be her best friend. They’ve been together secretly since she was fifteen and he sixteen.
It’s two weeks before Katherine’s eighteenth birthday when she moves to Russia permanently. She quickly changes her name to Ekaterina Mikhailovna, and becomes fairly popular with the Russian citizens, who have nicknamed her Katya. Katya immediately enjoys her new home and her husband-to-be.
Three days before she turns eighteen, the current tsar dies of pancreatic cancer. Katya and Leonas are stunned, but agree that they should marry as soon as possible. They get married on her birthday in an almost impromptu ceremony. Later that evening, Leonas is crowned the tsar.

This life is not as Katya expects. She had spent her life learning everything from Russian history from old European history textbooks. She had learned politics, leadership skills, everything that she could possibly need. She expected, as tsarina, to have more of a political hand. Instead, she is expecting to do the frivolous things that she had never enjoyed. Expectations for Katya are elevated to keep a perfect palace, have children, and maintain a perfect aesthetic appearance.
She is exhausted. To make matters worse, Leonas wants to extend the censorship of the Russian people to a more personal level. Things that they write and speak to each other will be closely monitored to ensure loyalty to the royal family. It’s almost a Soviet level of censorship. Katya, used to the free speech culture of the United States, wants to convince her husband otherwise. All eyes are on her. Can she maintain her image, and attempt to defy the tsar?

Answer
Hmm, kind of like a modern day Esther. I like the premise, but there isn't enough conflict. Everything is peachy except she is forced to live in luxury and doesn't get a political opinion? Not enough. You need something else. Like maybe she finds out after she is married that she isn't a company girl after all. The surrogate had sex with a Russian reporter and that is her father, not the factory girl everyone think she is. She runs into her family, her father has been tortured and maybe killed because he tries to speak out and resists the censors. So now the whole thing is personal and the Tsar isn't the wonderful man she thought he was. But he's not totally evil either. Can she stand up for her people?

You should start your story with her birth. In a super sterile factory room, whisked away, her mom doesn't get to hold her. They discover something (we don't know what) panic and decide to cover it up. Flash forward to her in the same factory environment getting ready for a visit from Leonas, coming to get her as she moves to Russia.
