About this item

From #1 bestselling author Glenn Beck and coauthor Mikayla G. Hedrick comes a tale with a chilling but timely discovery: if our lives are filled with stories, then whoever controls our stories controls our lives.. In a new world run by Topos, Inc., the United States of America only exists as a fading memory. On the path to utopia, the pillars of culture - religion, art, history, and science - have been decimated. The past is dead, and Topos killed it. Sixteen-year-old Ember remembers the day her parents were taken by Topos seven years ago. The only possession she has from them is a leather notebook containing the history of the world - contraband that could send her straight to Sleep Camp. When Ember is selected to serve on Topos's task force to reduce underage extremism, she has one chance to start a new life, but it may cost her everything.
