About this audiobook
Follows C.R., a young man born between two nations but accepted fully by neither. Rejected because he does not fit society’s definitions of identity and belonging, he eventually decides to create the home the world denied him. Using extraordinary intelligence and advanced technology, C.R. builds a powerful sanctuary at the heart of Lake Tobias, protected by an impenetrable dome and populated by advanced humans. His existence alarms governments, which unite against him, believing he intends to threaten humanity. But C.R. has no desire to rule or destroy. His real goal is to expose humanity’s divisions: nationalism, discrimination, inequality, hatred, and selfishness. As conflict escalates, ordinary people begin overcoming those divisions, protecting one another and recognizing their shared humanity. When humanity finally changes, C.R. lowers his defenses. His mission is complete. He never sought to conquer the world. He only wanted to create a world where everyone could finally belong.
