They couldn't help but open the vial.

Now they're at the mercy of magic...or is it science?

Three friends are transported to the totalitarian, dystopian future of the year 2118, Philadelphia where they face assimilation or death. The masses are controlled by a ruling elite masquerading as a meritocracy. The trio conspire to prove their merit to the powers that be and overthrow the government from the inside...

But how many are they willing to sacrifice?

Are their morals for sale to the strongest ally?

Embroiled in a bloody farce, they discover that getting home to their own time or else surviving 2118 will take more than cleverness and cunning.

A dark-science fantasy dystopia that shaped the future of science-fiction...

With a new foreword by Award-winning author Jody Lynn Nye.
