In the year 2050, the vast majority of Americans make up the liberated class: promised freedom from labor, but given inescapable poverty and societal decay. In spite of his dystopian upbringing, 18-year-old “libertine” Henry Simon starts a band with his friends in a desperate attempt to find meaning and happiness in a world ruthlessly deprived of both by its automated authoritarian government.
Meanwhile, Helene Shock is a fully-conscious musical “autogen” whose continual refinement as an artist and clout as a superstar leads her to help the forsaken libertines in any way she can. As their paths cross, Henry and Helene must navigate the treacherous conditions of the liberated cities, mind-bending developments in automated technology, and the overwhelming political pressures placed upon them by a government increasingly controlled by the autogens that ushered in their dangerous new world.
Jam-packed with music, humor, and politics, NextGen offers thrilling suspense, thoughtful analysis, and—most importantly—a bright glimmer of hope.
After all, the future is unwritten...
