Labyrinths Borne

The future of humanity hangs in the balance as black ice emerges in summer and a mysterious disease threatens to wipe swaths of the population from the planet. But there is hope in the hands of the surviving youth living in a bunker at the edge of the world as they use science and the arts to open new pathways towards eco-harmony and collective possibility. At the heart of this odyssey is the profound bond between Luna Cassie Cassandra Coatlique and Papá a brilliant writer clinging to his final days through a series of letters and journals giving insight to the darker legacies of our history - colonialism patriarchy and political authoritarianism. As their journey unfolds they weave in insights from Homer Aristotle Spinoza and Pacheco among others to forge a possible new narrative that can lead humanity out of dystopic labyrinths into a world reborn.
