About This Book

A man falls into an unexplained sleep and awakens many years later to a transformed metropolis where his amassed fortune and sudden celebrity make him a focal point in struggles among a governing council, commercial powers, and an agitated populace. The narrative follows his bewilderment as he moves through silent rooms, busy thoroughfares, rooftop scenes and aerial engagements, and becomes entangled in street battles and assaults on seats of power. Interwoven with action are reflections on industrial modernity, concentrated wealth, political manipulation, and the moral consequences of symbolic authority without personal agency.
