The year is 2165. Climate change has impoverished the world. Famine is a constant threat. One giant life science corporation has become the government and controls the food supply. But the young pop singer, Lizzie Corelli, doesn?t concern herself with government and science. She wants to be a star on the airwaves. She dreams of music school, adoring audiences and a glitzy new show biz wardrobe. Then an ancient plague, long thought to be extinct, appears in the wheat fields, threatening the world with starvation. And care free Lizzie finds herself at the very center of the desperate alliance of wheat breeders, robot spies, political fugitives and fed-up farmers that must organize to fight it. The pop star has become the voice of the next revolution. THE COMMONS is a story about political awakening, young love, old music and the oncoming struggle for the future of food.
