Science Fiction
It's the dawn of the 22nd century, and the world has fallen
apart. Decades of war and resource depletion have toppled
governments. The ecosystem has collapsed. A new dust bowl
sweeps the American West. The United States has become a
nation of migrants -starving masses of nomads who seek out a
living in desert wastelands and encampments outside
government seed-distribution warehouses. In this new world, there is a new power. Satori is more than
just a corporation, she is an intelligent, living city that
grew out of the ruins of Denver. Satori bioengineers both
the climate-resistant seed that feeds a hungry nation, and
her own post-human genetic Designers, Advocates, and
Laborers. What remains of the United States government now
exists solely to distribute Satori seed; a defeated American
military doles out bar-coded, single-use Satori seed to the
nation''s starving citizens. When one of Satori's Designers goes rogue, Agent Sienna
Doss-Ex-Army Ranger turned glorified bodyguard-is tasked by
the government to bring her in: The government wants to use
the Designer to break Satori's stranglehold on seed
production and reassert themselves as the center of power.
Sianna Doss's search for the Designer intersects with Brood
and his younger brother Pollo - orphans scrapping by on the
fringes of the wastelands. Pollo is abducted, because he is
believed to suffer from Tet, a newly emergent disease, the
victims of which are harvested by Satori. As events spin out of control, Brood and Sienna Doss find
themselves at the heart of Satori, where an explosive climax
promises to reshape the future of the world.
