What would you do if you lived in a world where your every move was
scrutinized by your own personal artificial intelligence--a world where
everything is regulated, from power usage to relationships--a world
where everything you thought you knew turned out to be a lie?
Welcome to Tisaia--the last hub of modern civilization in a world left
scorched by the nuclear fires of the Biomass Wars. Surrounded by a
fortress of steel walls and protected by a fierce and loyal Council of
Royal Knights, Tisaia seems relatively safe to the average State worker
and citizen. A plentiful supply of Biomass powers the cities and food is
abundant, but security has come at a terrible cost. The State will do
anything to protect its resources, even if it means suppressing the
rights of its citizens and deporting immigrants into the Wasteland--a
virtual death sentence.
Spurious Timur is one of the State workers helping keep the wheels of
prosperity turning in Tisaia. As he starts to explore Tisaia and
question his own worth, he realizes there may be more to his subsistence
than he thought. When he meets and falls for co-worker Lana Padilla, he
begins to understand he may hold the key to restoring Tisaia to a just
and free State.
However, restoring Tisaia will come at a cost; both to Spurious and
those he cares about, because in Tisaia nothing is ever what it seems.
And as more of his past begins to surface, he is faced with the ultimate
decision--on which side of the revolution should he fight?
