About this audiobook
In a world on the brink of collapse, the discovery of a terrifying new power source leads to the first nuclear conflict, leveling the world’s great capitals. From the ruins, a new era of global governance emerges, dedicated to the peaceful use of science and the abolition of national borders. This startlingly prophetic work explores the destructive potential of human genius and the possibility of a phoenix-like rebirth.
