About This Book

A disgraced citizen who tried to disable an automated Disciplinary Circuit becomes a blocked pariah and takes refuge aboard an antique space vessel, using obsolete technology to escape a complacent, nonviolent society. His travels lead to depopulated and contested worlds where deadly beams, sabotage, scarce fuel, and despotic regimes create escalating crises. Through encounters with man-made meteors, improvised gadgets, and pitched battles, he seeks allies, rescues, and a way to reverse oppressive systems. The narrative examines human ingenuity and moral choice against the dangers of impersonal, bureaucratic control and technological dependence.
