Decoding History - Milton, Ash A

. .

Résumé :

The year is 2055. In a world where power reigns supreme, knowledge is the ultimate weapon, carefully guarded and ruthlessly controlled. But in the shadows, a strange alliance thrives: as underground libraries and sanctuaries for the keepers of forbidden wisdom are formed through covert coalitions.

Thirty years after the Librarian of Congress was fired by a two-line email, the world has lost much of its knowledge. Into this dangerous landscape steps Eliza, a book whore was raised an orphan, trained as a courtesan, attempts to discover what is hidden in the past, while her present is never stable.

Cloaked in coded messages within books passed through clandestine libraries, this sisterhood seeks to reclaim lost power in a world determined to keep them silent. But in a society built on secrets and surveillance, can the future still be shaped, or will the forces of control crush her rebellion before it even begins?
