Publisher's Summary

Science says the Collective is the perfect society, where every day is sunny, and no wind blows. Science says all the animals are gone. Science says the accident in the fields couldn’t have happened…

…but Science is stranger than fiction.

Iago is an accomplished young Operator, harvesting corn in the name of the Collective – a hi-tech orphanage thousands of miles from civilization.

After a chance encounter with Javier and Kraken – a pair of wayward boys who have escaped a brutal prison known as the Village – Iago is beginning to question his reality. Now, he must survive the cruelties of the Protocol, and discover the terrible secrets of the Collective: a long-dead trillionaire with a grim warning, a super-mind that controls fate, and a plague that kills only men.

‘The Collective’ is a darkly subversive tale of humanity’s far future – a dystopia warped by perverted medicine. Fans of Brave New World, The Hunger Games, and The Handmaid’s Tale are sure to enjoy J F Olazabal’s debut novel!
