About this listen
After solar flares wipe out electrical grids worldwide, a small community survives by selling data recovered from decrepit hard drives and rare books. Nostalgic for the days of big business, the commune’s founding members call themselves Corporate and micromanage everyone.
Raised into the hustle, Iris Ecosia’s ADHD brain rebels at Corporate’s strict structure. It’s not all bad, though. She attracts the attention of Robert Lycos, the son of one of the Shareholders, but their relationship comes to a crashing end when she loses focus at a critical moment and a vital piece of equipment is destroyed.
The mistake plunges her into debt. Corporate demotes her to an indentured gardener. Her romance with Robert dissolves. Worse, there are no paid sick days in the post-apocalypse. So when Iris’ whole family falls ill, starvation is soon knocking on their door. Meanwhile, the Shareholders live like tycoons.
Iris and her family are not alone in their poverty or their impotent rage at the corporation who keeps them poor, hungry, and dependent. An underground revolution intent on toppling Corporate wants to recruit her. She can still do big things if she joins them, but if she’s caught, the Shareholders won’t stop at destroying her. They’ll go after her family, too.

“With visceral prose, heart-aching emotion, and positive neurodiverse rep, Campbell and King paint an immersive post-apocalyptic world with characters you'll want to root for.” (Al Hess, author of World Running Down)

A story filled with a lot of unexpected twists and turns!
Wow what a surprise! I wasn’t sure at the beginning but, after the first few chapters it was a suspense filled wild ride right to the end! Fabulous narration by Sarah Kisko, her ability to convey an incredible range of emotion with really distinctive characters really made an excellent story come alive!

Knowledge is power in this tragic futuristic world
This was a great listen! Very well thought out apocalyptic adventure with terrific characters and a wild ride of a story line. Searching out knowledge from the past to help create a better future is the goal of the protagonists in this book. Evil factions are never far away, and looking to exploit and control those with good intentions. This needs to become a series!

Strong spirited young female lead
Great post apocalyptic story line with a strong-spirited, but vulnerable young female lead. I liked that she was written with her youth in mind and I look forward to seeing how she matures as the next stories are written.
