In the Mainland – a sovereign society formed in Africa following a near world-annihilation event – religion, faith and nationalism have been outlawed, deemed responsible for humanity’s self-destruction.
Mankind was declared inferior, easily brainwashed and susceptible to believing superstitions. An artificial intelligence was put in charge of all internal affairs and residents were forbidden to use any technology that their ancestors relied on.
When an archeological expedition is sent to an isolated dig site to document the ancient world, Muracius Goodmond, Head of the Department for the Study of History Verification, uncovers a thirteen-hundred-year-old diary. He is amazed and horrified to learn that its contents contradict common scientific knowledge.
This is the story of eleven children whose lives are about to change and of the scholars who try to protect them.
Are humans capable of relinquishing power for the sake of a better world, even if it means giving up part of their humanity?
This is the first book of Gor De Meel’s Dek Unu trilogy.
