Sinopsis

'With visceral prose, heart-aching emotion, and positive neurodiverse rep, Campbell and King paint an immersive post-apocalyptic world with characters youâÇÖll want to root for.' - Al Hess author of World Running DownAfter solar flares wipe out electrical grids worldwide, a small community survives by selling data recovered from decrepit hard drives and rare books. Nostalgic for the days of big business, the communeâÇÖs founding members call themselves Corporate and micromanage everyone.áRaised into the hustle, Iris EcosiaâÇÖs ADHD brain rebels at CorporateâÇÖs strict structure. ItâÇÖs not all bad though. She attracts the attention of Robert Lycos, the son of one of the Shareholders, but their relationship comes to a crashing end when she loses focus at a critical moment and a vital piece of equipment is destroyed.The mistake plunges her into debt. Corporate demotes her to an indentured gardener. Her romance with Robert dissolves. Worse, there are no paid sick days in the post apocalypse. So when IrisâÇÖs whole family falls ill, starvation is soon knocking on their door. Meanwhile, the Shareholders live like tycoons.áIris and her family are not alone in their poverty or their impotent rage at the corporation who keeps them poor, hungry, and dependent. An underground revolution intent on toppling Corporate wants to recruit her. She can still do big things if she joins them, but if sheâÇÖs caught, the Shareholders wonâÇÖt stop at destroying her. TheyâÇÖll go after her family too.á
