Thirteen-year-old Eli Papadopoulos is worried. Even though he’s a
member of the most powerful family in the world. Even though his
grandfather founded InfiniCorp, the massive corporation that runs
everything in the bustling dome-cities. Even though InfiniCorp ads and
billboards are plastered everywhere, proclaiming: DON'T WORRY!
INFINICORP IS TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING! Recently, Eli noticed that
there’s something wrong with the artificial sky. It keeps shorting
out, displaying strange colors and random images. And though the
Department of Cool and Comfortable Air is working overtime, the
dome-city is hotter than it’s ever been. Eli has been
raised to believe that the dome-cities are safe, that the important
thing is to keep working and consuming, and that everyone is secure
and comfortable in InfiniCorp’s capable hands. But now he
begins asking questions. All of a sudden, operatives from a
dangerous band of terrorists keep contacting him. The Friends of
Gustavo—or Foggers—want to tear down everything InfiniCorp has
created. They promise Eli that they have the truth he seeks—if
he’s brave enough to handle it. Eli isn’t convinced. And
he’s about to find out that in the dome-cities, being a Papadopoulos
isn’t enough to save a rule-breaker like him from being sent far
away to learn right-thinking. In his new home, the Tower, Eli meets
Tabitha, once at the top of her Internship class, now a forgotten
slave. Together, and with help from Eli’s beloved pet mongoose,
Marilyn, they just might be able to escape . . . and try to make a
life for themselves in the scorched wilderness outside the domes.
This sweeping, high-concept eco-thriller recalls Disney/Pixar’s
Wall•E and Lois Lowry’s classic The Giver, yet it is completely
original, a remarkable, fully realized fantasy that will change the
way you look at how we live.
