In 2105, humankind will face its greatest threat. The Northern Alliance is at war on multiple fronts. Bio-engineered soldiers locate and destroy Quants while Kazumi's innovations, as CEO of Mashimoto, keep Greater China one step ahead in their Cold War. Mackenzie and Chris plan to escape to the moon while Sophie leads a relatively normal life as a climate academic. Francois and Nicky continue their humanitarian efforts in wartorn South America. Sophie performs another Scania mind-reading session that leads to a disturbing discovery. Her violent lucid dreams in the Quantum Realm are getting worse, too.
They are Global Village—connected, well-funded and well-meaning individuals who continue to make a difference in a world that appears wired to self-destruct.
