The year is 2050. The globe is split in two, divided between the Red Block and the Buro. Both sides are using identical policies to dominate their fiefdoms, using fear as a weapon of control. Adam Brandon is a news scriptwriter for the Buro. He is cocooned in his small but grand world, concocting news stories that have a tenuous connection to the truth. His world falls apart when the Buro tests him - and he is found wanting. Cast out, he soon discovers a subculture where he can survive. This is a story of the hidden dangers between the present day and 2050, partly looking in the rear view mirror to give a perspective of past events - covid, climate change, the push to renewables, the move to increasing state control and the rise of AI. By the time the Buro realises the true threat, it's all too late.
