Synopsis
In the twenty-fifth century, humanity has achieved unprecedented peace through a radical reorganization of society — nations replaced by voluntary groups, gendered language abolished, and religion forbidden in public. When Mycroft Canner, a brilliant convicted criminal, discovers a child who can bring inanimate objects to life, the fragile utopia begins to crack.
