In his remarkable, incisive and cinematic thriller, Daniel Suarez shows us a world in which mankind's greatest scientific breakthroughs have been suppressed. But now the truth is out, and chaos will reign . . .

Change is dangerous, technology lethal. So what if our civilization is more advanced than we know?

Particle physicist Jon Grady is ecstatic when his team achieves a major breakthrough: a device that can reflect gravity. Their research will revolutionise the field of physics. But at Grady's moment of triumph, his lab is locked down by a shadowy organisation whose mission is to prevent the social upheaval caused by sudden technological advances - advances they use to retain total command.

They are living in the future we were promised.

Now Grady finds himself in a nightmarish high-tech prison built to hold other rebellious geniuses. Can he and his fellow prisoners escape? And even if they can, is it possible to defeat an enemy that wields a technological advantage half a century in the making?

The dark ages are ending. Our future is here...
