Humanity lost?Would you trade your emotions against an eternal life?In a society ruled by a new generation of people who are more machine than human, where emotions are considered a weakness, 17-year-old Mia and her two-year younger brother Ben are left on their own after the death of their parents. While Mia takes a job to support them, Ben stays in school. On a day that begins like any other, there is talk of an attack. The target: Ben’s school. By the time Mia arrives, Ben has already been taken to an undisclosed location and Mia is not given any information about it. A stranger offers to help and, in her desperation, Mia accepts. He introduces her to a group of drop-outs, where Mia meets the witty and rebellious siblings Vi and Phil, who become allies in her search for her brother. Meanwhile Ben and his classmates are taken to a military base to be trained as soldiers. To fight who? Their own kind.

I've edited a number of 'political' books in recent months and I think your book was the best by far. Your arguments were coherent, persuasive and well sourced. Your use of personal anecdote is very good and it really brings this book to life. The opening section about your dad sets the scene and really pulls the reader into the book. Your referencing is well positioned and well presented. I come across so many books that just present facts with no evidential support. Your use of references really helps to build trust in what you have to say." -Gary Smailes, Editor"Rarely these days does one have the opportunity to read something completely honest. Phil Williams has done it here and I applaud the risks he took to write it." - AZ ★★★★★"Thought opening, dogma bashing, recommended reading, but be warned, your certainties will lose their footing." - Miroslav ★★★★★"This book is unlike any other I have read." - Texaspup ★★★★★"This is one of the best, most documented, and easy to understand books I've ever read on propaganda!" - Kendra M. ★★★★★"One of the most thought-provoking books I've ever read!
