Publisher's Synopsis
After asteroids ravage the Earth, leaving only a fraction of humanity behind, the survivors rise from the ashes to forge a new beginning. In the absence of governments, they establish an anarchist society, thriving on cooperation and ingenuity. Communities flourish, learning to grow crops, harnessing the power of industry in a second revolution, and reinventing technology to build a future rooted in peace and self-reliance.
For years, harmony reigns. But Calla and Elias, two curious minds, stumble upon a relic from humanity's turbulent past: The Beginner's Guide to Politics. This book; a seemingly harmless artifact; contains ideas capable of reshaping the fragile world they've built. Before the pair can grasp its implications, the book is stolen by Jacob Whitiker, a cunning and ambitious man. Armed with its knowledge, Jacob gathers followers, manipulating them with promises of order and prosperity. Driven by greed and power, he crowns himself the head of a new government, threatening to unravel the very foundations of society. As tensions rise and the anarchist way of life crumbles under the shadow of tyranny, Calla and Elias must face a pivotal choice: Will they uncover a way to resist Jacob's growing empire, or will humanity repeat the mistakes of its past? The fate of this delicate new world hangs in the balance in this gripping tale of survival, power, and the enduring question; what does freedom truly mean?
