Overview

"The novel unfolds as a dystopia set in an imagined world, situated in the future after the inevitable occurs. Human societies grapple with devastation brought about by nuclear wars and climate change. The majority of survivors find themselves living in ""human sanctuaries,"" overseen by a select few elites who have gleaned wisdom from the bitterness of experience. The author is a writer, journalist, and documentary maker. He previously authored two novels and several specialized books encompassing media, politics, and history. Residing in the Middle East, he is intricately engaged with myriad social, political, and intellectual issues, given the nature of his profession. He interacts with the multitude of challenges prevalent in the countries of the Middle East. He undertook the coverage of the Arab Spring events and closely followed on the ground the rise of extremists in Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, and other Middle-Eastern countries. He holds the perspective that military and religious dictatorships are the foremost afflictions faced by these societies plagued by oppression, violence, poverty, and extremism."
