Momenticon

Momenticon plunges readers into a vividly imagined post-apocalyptic world where humanity clings to survival in protected domes, governed by two powerful, competing companies. Fogg, a lonely museum curator, finds his quiet life upended by a mysterious artifact, leading him on an epic quest to confront the dark forces threatening the last vestiges of civilization. This 384-page novel explores themes of environmental collapse, corporate control, and the power of human connection, making it an engaging read for middle schoolers and young adults who enjoy dystopian science fiction and adventure stories. Parents should be aware of the prominent themes of environmental destruction and societal peril, which can spark important conversations about our world.

"The world has become a dangerous place. Despite the environmentalists' best efforts, the atmosphere has turned toxic, destroying almost all life - plants, animals, and most of humanity too. Survivors live in domes protected by chitin shields, serving one or other of the two great companies, Lord Vane's Tempestas or Lord Sine's Genrich, with their very different visions for mankind's future. Fogg has been the curator of the isolated Museum Dome for three years. It contains Man's finest artefacts, but Fogg hasn't had a single visitor. He immerses himself in the exhibits with only AIPT, his automated physical trainer, for company. Then a single mysterious pill appears in the Museum as if from nowhere: a momenticon. It signals the end of his hermit's life and an impending struggle with the dark forces which threaten everything that remains: a struggle which will take him and his new companions to the ends of the earth. This is a post-apocalyptic world unlike any other."--Provided by publisher.
