Sobre IBD

This early science fiction novel imagines a future where a wealthy industrialist monopolizes the planet’s air supply, turning breathable air into a commodity. The story explores the social and political ramifications of such power, as a group of revolutionaries rises to challenge the oppressive regime. England uses this dystopian scenario to critique capitalism, environmental exploitation, and the unequal distribution of resources.
