It’s 2080, thirty-five years after the world collapsed in a series of catastrophes known as the Big Wave. But the world survived, and new civilizations emerged through great advances in technology, all of it centered in cities. Those who live in outlying towns and villages survive by preparing citizens for city living and trading them against what they need, including the essential security webs that protect them from the threats of the new world. Seventeen-year-old Seelya is one of those citizens. From the small town of K’uuk, located on a devastated Vancouver Island, she is looking forward to selling herself as a high-value asset to New Vancouver. Identified as a Chosen One from birth, she hopes to become a human engineer and develop new technologies that will save humanity, for better or for worst. But before she moves, life in quiet K’uuk gets disrupted when a nearby town collapse and a surge of refugees arrive. On a trip to material collection, Seelya and the mysterious K are captured by ruthless debris pirates, vicious bandits who scour the ruins of the old world. In Seelya and K’s efforts to escape, trauma, love, hurt, and hope emerge setting the stage for a future that is yet to be written.
Migrant experiences accentuate general aspects of the human condition. Therefore, this volume explores migrant’s movements not only as geographical movements from here to there but also as movements that constitute an embodied, cognitive, and existential experience of living “in between” or on the “borderlands” between differently figured life-worlds. Focusing on memories, nostalgia, the here-and-now social experiences of daily living, and the hopes and dreams for the future, the volume demonstrates how all interact in migrants’ and refugees’ experience of identity and quest for well-being.
Newly elected president, Lee Chung Wilson, has declared sugar an illegal substance in the United States. Steve Shadow, former manager of defunct Big Town, a government-run weight-loss facility, takes over the late Sugar Gannon's contraband sugar operation in Colombia. He covertly supplies all of the government-run restaurants and bakeries with a doubly sweet form of sugar that can be taken home by customers in subtly requested "doggie-bags." Shadow hires a detective for protection from rivaling South American sugar lords and reconnects with M-1, a resurrected robot from Big Town, to help him satisfy the nation's sweet tooth and quiet down deprived, rioting protestors.
