About the book: 2020 / In the distant future, humanity is divided into warring factions. Mechanist Aristocrats believe that humans can reach their greatest potential through technology and advanced implants. Rebel Shapers consider these enhancements to be a dead end and believe only in genetic enhancements, leading to a violent confrontation between the two groups. And one person finds himself at the center of this war. Abelar Lindsay, the child of the Mechanists, by the will of fate became a diplomat for the Shapers, but was betrayed and sent into exile. Trained in the fine arts of negotiation and intrigue, he travels between warring camps during his endless exile and sees the wonders and horrors of this brave new world. But trying to survive in endless clashes and wars, Lindsay becomes a participant in what will become a radical revolution: either new hope or death for a divided and tormented humanity.
