Fascists start with the books, in this story by the author of the Moreau Society series.
As a kid, Jack Calkins loved his grandfather's book shop - the Book Refuge - intended to be the place to go for hard-to-find, out-of-print, and half-forgotten books.
His mother continued the tradition, seeking to preserve books on science, medicine, and especially history. Books by indigenous people, LGBTQIA authors, immigrant authors, black and brown authors, disabled authors, Autistic authors-she gathered works that had been stripped from schools and libraries around the country in the Terrible Twenties.
Now Jack must stock OGP Official Government Publisher books churned out as propaganda by government A.I., sanitized and meaningless, to keep the book shop-and the resistance-going.
