Safe Spaces concerns a social credit score that has been implemented across the country, creating a devastating scenario for the hero and his family. The novel’s first arc concerns a mandatory sixty-day social quarantine, and is reminiscent of the novel RUN by Blake Crouch in its depiction of a father desperate to protect his family, while a bad situation continues to get worse. Safe Spaces is full of biblical and religious themes. In the climax of the book, the truth shines brightest, as The Apostles Creed is used as an antithesis to the darkness of the world.
