Decades in the future, America is in the midst of a new Prohibition Era. This time, the contraband is information. Free press has been replaced with journalism licenses and a formidable federal censorship agency. Reading newspapers is now a crime. Aspiring journalist Roy Farrington thinks nothing of it all, until his father is mysteriously arrested in a late-night home raid. His search for answers leads him to the ruins of a post-earthquake Seattle dominated by ruthless newspaper gangs. Forced to adapt to their technologically regressive ways, Roy learns to survive in a world where a story's value is measured in blood spilled and there's always more than one way to meet a deadline. Brimming with political intrigue, "The Stringers" exposes the danger and futility of state censorship.
