Quarantine Zone

Product Description

Evil is a sickness--and now there is a cure. In the future, humanity has discovered the root of all evil- a virus that modifies the neural pathways for empathy. Those infected with the malnoro virus have been forcibly imprisoned in the Quarantine Zone (whether they choose to do good or evil). Meanwhile, the rest of the cured world is sterile and crime-free, but permeated by an oppressive, paranoid fear of new outbreaks of the malnoro virus. Written by NEW YORK TIMES best-selling novelist Daniel H. Wilson, QUARANTINE ZONE is an action/sci-fi original graphic novel that raises hard questions about free will and the nature of good and evil. If we could cure ourselves of the capability to do evil--should we? And could a person truly be good without the choice to do evil?Evil is a sickness--and now there is a cure.
