When Matz finally finds a job, he believes he has at last emerged from his limbo of apathy and low self-esteem.
From the very beginning, however, his work at the Facility seems incomprehensible and meaningless to him. Everything revolving around this organization takes on an absurd quality. Everyone he asks for information seems to know even less than he does: ignorance is elevated to an absolute value.
Demonstrating great curiosity, ingenuity, and willpower, the young man decides to seek out the truth at any cost and by any means at his disposal. Bounced from one place to another, having made mistakes time and again, deceived, and at times unwittingly aided, he will find himself facing a power far too great for him to handle...
Follow his journey in Mark M. Lakes's debut novel, set against the backdrop of the authoritarian megastate known as the Great Union, and discover all its facets.
