Null-ABC (also published as Crisis in 2140) is a science fiction novel set in a future where society is divided by literacy. The story takes place in the year 2140, a time when illiteracy has become a significant issue, and the Literates, an organization of educated individuals, hold considerable power by controlling access to knowledge and information.
In this world, the Literates clash with the illiterate majority, who are often manipulated by political forces seeking to maintain control. Amidst this tension, a crisis emerges as the Literates push for greater influence, and the government must navigate the growing conflict to prevent societal collapse.
The narrative follows key characters on both sides of the divide, exploring themes of power, knowledge, and the impact of education on society. H. Beam Piper and John J. McGuire deliver a thought-provoking tale that examines the consequences of a society divided by literacy and the potential for change through understanding and cooperation.
