Product Description
What is it to be human? What is consciousness? What makes a soul?
2075. Change brought fear and fear brought destruction. The island-state of the Republic had risen up from the destroyed world: isolated, ordered and repressive. Its citizens are alive, but not free. What remains of the outside world is kept at bay. Planes are gunned down; refugees shot on sight. Until a man named Adam Forde rescues a girl from the sea.
Forde is long-dead when Anaximander faces the Examiners. Her aim: to join the philosopher's class at The Academy. Her topic: Forde's challenge to the Republic. Anaximander feels a connection to Forde, one that she can't explain, one that she doesn't yet know is dangerous.
