The marvelous brain, that devious little fight-or-flight, fuck-or-feed device, which you like to think is the measure of the hominid. You’re so proud of that, aren’t you? And you should be. Without your brain, there would be no language, and without language, we would never have seen the third phase of evolution.

1% of participants are accepted into The Academy. Anaximander desires to belong to the 1%. The Academy requires you to pass an exam in order to enter.

The examination takes place in a post-apocalyptic nation that fears plague-carrying outsiders. Outsiders are not allowed to survive. Anaximander’s expertise is focused on Adam Forde, a long-dead hero/traitor who allowed an outsider to live.

Anaximander’s examination is a question and answer presentation. The discourse brings revelations about her society and herself as she learns information that she was formerly not privy to: facts.

This little novel is about ideas, the birth of ideas and the death of ideas. This novel is about the formation of conspiracy. And it is about finding the answers that show us reality, for good or for bad.
