How far an utopia needs to be improved? When a revolution... is no longer needed?
Humanity has left the polluted cities for sustainable communities of solar panels, turbines, and small farms. The old ways are over. The new world is quieter, greener, and broadly content. When an automated factory abrubptly falls silent somewhere in the outskirts, most people don't suspect anything.
Kai seizes the chance for adventure, for movement, for something to actually happen. What she finds is more than a malfunctioning machine. She encounters a suspicious young engineer who knows what happened and sets out to find a legendary hacker who goes by the name COBOL.
Kai strings along to accompany her, and she is suddenly drawn into a brewing rebellion far bigger and far more dangerous than the simple adventure she bargained for. SolarPunk adventure fiction that takes the concept of utopia seriously and then challenges the idealism of what is good enough.
