Overview
Overview
A fictional, near-future cyberpunk dystopia. Three idealistic youths, forever transformed by the real-world protests in Hong Kong in 2019, develop diverging beliefs about how best to fight against techno-authoritarian China. Each must decide whether to ally with a non-democratic, fascist United States.
Powerfully conceived by Emmy Award-nominated journalist Melissa Chan, and gorgeously illustrated by Chinese dissident artist Badiucao, this fictional near-future cyberpunk narrative tackles the very real and looming threat of a techno-authoritarian China through the eyes of Andy, Maggie, and Olivia--three idealistic youths based in Hong Kong fighting for their freedom in three very distinct ways.
Timely and necessary, this cautionary tale chronicles how these friends meet during the Hong Kong protests of 2019, separate over ideological differences, and intersect years later in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 2030s. Their individual responses to an impending war between the US and China ask us all to consider to what extent we would fight for our own freedoms, and who and what we become in doing so.
