De weg naar nergens Reeks

Deze dystopische saga speelt zich af in een door de apocalyps geteisterde wereld, waar overlevenden worstelen met een harde realiteit na de ineenstorting van de beschaving. De serie duikt in de duistere kanten van de menselijke natuur en de kwetsbaarheid van de sociale orde, met name in de context van een afnemende mannelijke bevolking en de onderdrukking van vrouwen. Het volgt personages die strijden om betekenis en hoop te vinden te midden van geweld en wanhoop, en stelt verontrustende vragen over de toekomst van de mensheid en genderdynamiek.

    "In the wake of a fever that decimated the earth's population--killing women and children and making childbirth deadly for the mother and infant--the midwife must pick her way through the bones of the world she once knew to find her place in this dangerous new one. Gone are the pillars of civilization. All that remains is power--and the strong who possess it. A few women like her survived, though they are scarce. Even fewer are safe from the clans of men, who, driven by fear, seek to control those remaining"--Back cover.

    In this Philip K. Dick Award-winning series, one woman's unknowable destiny depends on a bold new step in human evolution. In the wake of the apocalypse, Flora has come of age in a highly gendered post-plague society where females have become a precious, coveted, hunted, and endangered commodity. But Flora does not participate in the economy that trades in bodies. An anathema in a world that prizes procreation above all else, she is an outsider everywhere she goes, including the thriving all-female city of Shy. Now navigating a blighted landscape, Flora, her friends, and a sullen young slave she adopts as her own child leave their oppressive pasts behind to find their place in the world. They seek refuge aboard a ship where gender is fluid, where the dynamic is uneasy, and where rumors flow of a bold new reproductive strategy. When the promise of a miraculous hope for humanity's future tears Flora's makeshift family asunder, she must choose: protect the safe haven she's built or risk everything to defy oppression, whatever its provenance.
