Here's the official synopsis:
From Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and esteemed activist artist Badiucao comes a near-future dystopian graphic novel exploring technology, authoritarian government, and the lengths people will go to fight for freedom. It's 2035. The US and China are at war. America is a proto-fascist state. Taiwan is divided. As conflict escalates between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths—who first met in Hong Kong—develop diverging beliefs on navigating this techno-authoritarian world. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia embark on distinct paths toward transformative change, each confronting the ultimate cost of fighting for freedom and the person they become in the process. A powerful and important book about global totalitarian futures, and the sacrifices of resistance.
