2200 - Michele Aikens

. .

Résumé :
Jason Warner thought he understood danger... until the night he is abducted and thrust into The Farm, a covert network designed to reprogram young Black men. Here, discipline replaces freedom, labor replaces choice, and the old rules of survival no longer apply. Jason has no idea his arrival was orchestrated, or that the elders know exactly who he is. Beyond The Farm, America has entered a new era where constitutional protections have been dismantled and legalized slavery has returned under new names. Black and Brown men are once again disposable, executed without due process or condemned to lifetime labor for corporate profit. No trials. No mercy. No way out. But the future tells a different story. The year is 2200, and the world has transformed. In the Commune of African Descendants, Black people thrive. Crime is nearly nonexistent. Children learn from elders. Wealth is shared. Legacy is sacred. And the wounds of the past have been transformed into a blueprint for prosperity. It is a new world - bold, innovative, and self-sustaining. Yet beneath the brilliance, something unsettles the ground. Old grievances. Old ambitions. Old seeds sown long before the year 2200. Across time, two matriarchs, one who holds his past and another who shapes his future, share pieces of a truth that bind Jason to a destiny he never imagined. As he uncovers the devastating reason behind Ruby's desperate choice, Jason begins to unravel a conspiracy stretching from the generational scars of American history to the breathtaking world of 2200....
