Description
In a world ravaged by climate change, a small group of individuals has found a way to escape the confines of a society dominated by the ultra-rich. With the ability to design and print the basic necessities of life from a computer, they have turned their backs on the world of rules and jobs, embarking on a journey to create a new way of living. As they venture into the unknown, they discover that the empty lands hold both promise and danger. The initial pioneers of this new way of life have flourished, but the discovery of a way to beat death has sparked a war that threatens to upend the world. This novel explores the consequences of a world where the boundaries between life and technology are increasingly blurred, and the fight for survival becomes a fight for the very future of humanity.
