Now she is surrounded by extremely wealthy companies developing private weather and secret weapons, while proclaiming technological prophecies. Although Martha may have left the sect, when the apocalyptic visions in her father's sermons slowly come true, how much future is actually left? With a handful of friends, she plans a daring coup to save the world from the tech giants whose greed threatens life as we know it. (translated)
