Heather O’Grainne is the assistant secretary in the Office of Future Threat Assessment, investigating rumors surrounding something called “Daybreak.” Part philosophic discussion, part international terrorist faction, and part artists’ movement, it’s a group of diverse people with radical ideas who have only one thing in common — their hatred for the Big System and their desire to take it down. Until Heather can determine whether these people are all talk and no action, she wants to keep this information from going public.

I enjoyed both "One for the Morning Glory" and "Kaleidoscope Century" and was very intrigued to see what John Barnes would do with a near-present day end of the world as we know it. I did not find any characters relatable. Everyone seems to be very simple and shallow; an Earth overrun by a Dunning-Kruger pandemic. Perhaps Mr. Barnes is relating his personal observations regarding interactions with people who make up our current American Society, reflecting that the true threat in our future comes from within each of us, rather than technological mechanisms in the hands of bad actors. But given that even the most rabbit-holed red-pilled people I know have greater self-reflection than the characters, the premise breaks down. Barnes created a compelling apocalypse, but one populated by people driven by contempt.
