I read just about everything Koontz puts out - very prescient and his admixture of science fiction/fantasy with reality keeps it fun...he has a series out about a agent on the run (Jane Hawk) and “the powers that be” have concocted a nano-bot solution that allows complete control (Dem wet dream) and some of his comments give it a “1984/Fahrenheit 451” feel.
