IN 2260, HUMANITY HAS ACHIEVED A NEW GOLDEN AGE. Unlimited wireless energy powers everything. Information is freely exchanged between the Global Network and humans via neural implants. Sam Greenhut is responsible for overseeing the reliable flow of energy and information to an expectant planet. While nearly everyone praised this development as a boon to humankind, Sam muses about a population now completely dependent upon it. Self-reliance, a previously admired human trait, had seemingly been weaned from the gene pool over the past two centuries. The Upheaval, dramatizes the struggles and triumphs of society's voyage through 200 years of technological achievement and planetary upheaval. This adventurous, uplifting, yet sobering look at Earth's future, examines a world threatened by complacency, technical addiction, and the choices faced by a young man fighting to save the planet.
