Rising from the RubbleIn the first years after the plague of machine sickness destroyed all plastic and petroleum, humanity focused on raw survival. Now, the remnant who clung to life are remaking the world. This book follows the characters you came to love: D. D., the creator of the bacterium behind the destruction; Jessica, her prodigal daughter; Bilqis, the priestess of the New Islam in North Africa; Meala, the youthful warrior who spreads the new religion; Li, the Chinese bureaucrat swept into the global cataclysm; and other memorable figures. See through their eyes and experience their personal journeys. Experience the absorbing realism of the near-future history: the death of government as we know it, and the reinvention of technology as a cybernetic biological power uniting humanity in a new, decentralized paradigm. The deadly battles, epic journeys and voyages, unlikely love stories, and scientific meditations you expect from the Eupocalypse are brought to a thrilling (but never final!) conclusion here.
