Beskrivelse
The moon's orbit has been disturbed by corporate warfare, laying the Earth victim to massive king tides and fierce dry electrical storms. The elite have taken to the skies in gigantic flying cities, leaving the third class workers to survive on the ground with no support, striving to rebuild life on the planet's surface.This is the setting for Dead Earth Dreaming. Above the waterline but underground are Breeding Colonies, used to create genetically engineered workers by the Upside authorities, pumping out obedient and thoughtless slaves for the system. Occasionally though, a worker will show signs of individualism, and for this they are placed in a rehabilitation institution.C22108/3 was incarcerated as an indigenous boy, and after 23 years he escapes his outback prison and heads for the old city of Sydney to find freedom as a man. An Upside detective, Junger, is sent to find him with the aid of a T2R, a Tactical Response Retriever. C22108/3 connects with the locals, inheriting the name 'Kelly' through his use of a lead suit to evade the tracking of his Internal Position Monitor. The chase is on for Junger to intercept Kelly before he reaches the Bunker, an abandoned Colony reopened by a band of punk squatters. Overseen by the sole survivor, Cat, the Bunker is now utilized as a medical centre and IPM removal ward for Upside refugees wishing to be freed from the constraints of Authority.Human spirit will shine in a world with no future.Originally written in the 1990s, now is the time to read Dead Earth Dreaming.
