Coldwire
The first in a young adult dystopian trilogy from the author of These Violent Delights.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD.
The future is loading...
To escape rising seas and rampant epidemics, most of society lives "upcountry" in glistening virtual reality, while those who cannot afford the subscription are forced to remain in crumbling "downcountry."
But upcountry is not perfect. A cold war rages between two powerful nations, Medaluo and Atahuaβand no one suffers for it more than the Medan orphans in Atahua. Their enrolment at Nile Military Academy is mandatory. Either serve as a soldier, or risk being labelled a spy.
Coldwire by Chloe Gong explores these fascinating dynamics in a world divided by technological advancements and haunting geopolitical tensions.
