Book Description
The book is a dystopian tale set sometime in the future. To hide the huge inequalities in society the wealthy create a system of control using propaganda and conditioning. The ‘worker’ population believe the ‘Owners’ are saintly and live on an island in contemplation after creating the perfect system to maintain peace. In reality, the Owners live in luxury. The climate is harsh over most of the world and workers live in city domes. Each land belongs to a company, the company nations. They trade with each other and send a tribute to the saintly Owners. The story follows a group of characters from their perspective through a rebellion. A rebellion triggered by an accidental stowaway, a worker trapped on a ‘trade’ flight. A group of synthetic humans assist the rebellion and the book deals with themes of inequality, automation, and human evolution.
