Brave Old World
In a post eco-holocaust, totally green world, there are still glimmers of a decadent past and one young woman decides to find out more about her banned past.
After an eco-holocaust the remaining populations of the world have gone completely green. Economic growth is banned, invention is a crime, and everyone lives in small, self-sufficient villages rigorously controlled by Facilitators.
But all revolutions tend to go wrong, no matter how well-intentioned, and there are always rebels.
Miranda, disaffected with the new old ways and bored by her designated ideologically perfect partner, decides to see what the bad old world had to offer.
