Infos

Alice is struggling to find things to care about. Branded 'smarter than most' at the age of seven, she now works in Enrolments at the local university and spends her time stalking the internet for shoes she can't afford. Meanwhile, the climate is in crisis and wealthy immigrants are flocking to New Zealand for shelter, stealing land, driving up food prices and taking over.When Alice meets teenage genius Erika, life suddenly gets a lot more interesting. But Erika soon reveals a dangerous plan to set things 'right', forcing Alice out of indifference and into action of the most radical kind. Just what is a slacker to do?
