Capitalism or communism? A question whose evasive answer nearly caused the extinction of humanity. But what if there was a third option? Today, humanity happily races toward a future that, according to capitalist marketing, proclaims our bodies as temples and our senses as gods that must be indulged, pampered, and incited to experience it all. However, an exceptional group of individuals foresaw, at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, a far less promising future. Humanity was not heading toward an era of infinite pleasures but rather toward an apocalyptic precipice, filled with hunger, pollution, overpopulation, sorrow, and death. The time has come to make a decision. Do we project as individuals and perish as a species, or do we project as a species and survive as individuals? Would the reader be willing to sacrifice their standard of living if it guaranteed their children’s survival in a peaceful, clean world full of opportunities in the near future? Would we be willing to do that? Barend Grostig finds himself at this very crossroads. He is the creator of a revolutionary technology that promises to clean up the planet’s waste. But everything comes at a price. Unbeknownst to him, he will become part of a hidden war that has been waged for nearly a century, between a status quo resistant to change out of fear of losing everything, and a system that, if we do not change willingly, will force us to change without asking.
