Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow and Reds like him, are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society's ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies ... even if it means he has to become one of them to do so

Dvakrát jsme měli obrovské štěstí. Nejdřív nám evoluce nadělila imunitní systém, který si poradí i s novými a neznámými hrozbami. A pak jsme přišli na způsoby, jak mu ještě pomoci: mýdlo, vakcíny, antibiotika. Miliony lidí díky nim přežívají původně smrtící infekce. Proč se tedy obranyschopnost stále častěji obrací proti nám v podobě alergií a autoimunitních zánětů? Proč se někdy chová jako ochránce a jindy jako nemilosrdný zabiják?

COVID-19: Veľký reset je príručka pre každého, kto chce pochopiť, ako COVID-19 narušil naše sociálne a ekonomické systémy. Aké zmeny budú potrebné na vytvorenie inkluzívneho, odolnejšieho a udržateľnejšieho sveta. Klaus Schwab, zakladateľ, donedávna aj výkonný predseda Svetového ekonomického fóra, a Thierry Malleret, zakladateľ Monthly barometer, skúmajú, aké boli hlavné príčiny týchto kríz a prečo vedú k potrebe Veľkého resetu. Ich analýza znepokojuje, no zároveň dáva nádej. COVID-19 spôsobil veľký ničivý reset našich globálnych sociálnych, ekonomických a politických systémov.

Toto je účel tejto knihy; zatriasť a ukázať nedostatky, ktoré sa prejavovali v našom globálnom systéme ešte predtým, ako prepukol COVID.
