The official description reads:

From Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and esteemed activist artist Badiucao comes a near-future dystopian graphic novel about technology, authoritarian government, and the lengths one will go to in the fight for freedom.

It's 2035. The US and China are at war. America is a proto-fascist state. Taiwan is divided. As conflict escalates between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths, who first met in Hong Kong, develop diverging beliefs on navigating this techno-authoritarian landscape. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia embark on different paths toward transformative change, confronting the extent of their fight for freedom and the cost of that struggle.

A powerful and important book about global totalitarian futures, and the costs of resistance.
