Set in the year 2505, the story takes place in "The City," which exists within something called F-shell, an apparently impenetrable barrier that has stood for over 400 years. The central premise involves a man who awakens in 2505 CE armed with knowledge that helps him to topple a corrupt dictatorship. Society has decayed considerably, and two different political factions are trying to convince the despotic government to take down the shell. The government, meanwhile, travels back in time to retrieve the shell's inventor — a man named Lenoir — to ensure the shell can never be dismantled. Lenoir arrives confused and disoriented, and finds himself caught between the competing groups as he slowly pieces together what is happening, building toward a major twist at the end.J.W.
