Showing results for "everything" in Dystopian

By the middle of the twenty-first century, war, famine, economic collapse, and climate catastrophe had toppled the world's governments. In the 2050s, the insurrections reached the nerve center of global capitalism—New York City. This book, a collection of interviews with the people who made the revolution, was published to mark the twentieth anniversary of the New York Commune, a radically new social order forged in the ashes of capitalist collapse.

You stay in bed until the afternoon, scrolling through your social media feeds and wondering why everyone else seems to be achieving so much. Sometimes you don't get out of bed at all. Then you hear about Life on Nyx, a programme that allows 100 lucky winners the chance to escape it all, move to another planet and establish a new way of life. One with meaning and purpose. One without Instagram and online dating. There's one caveat: if you go, you can never come back. But you aren't worried about that. After all, what on Earth could there possibly be to miss?

A pretty female type someone.

Human beings can survive for about forty days without food; for about three days without water; for about eight minutes without air. But they can’t live for one single second without hope. That’s what my dad taught us. He said we had to be prepared for what was coming. He said it was better to be ten years too early than one minute too late. That’s why he did what he did, on that morning.

Sometimes, formidable challenges can seem impossible. Sometimes, you can forget what you’ve done and what you’re capable of. Sometimes, doubt can attack you like a virus and leave you questioning your worth. Sometimes….And then sometimes, when things seem like they can’t get any worse, you find yourself. You find the person, the friend, the sister, the warrior you know you can be.
