Volume 13: The Republic of Scotland

More about the book

It is the future. The global landscape has been turned on its head. Nations have fractured, governments have crumbled, and artificial intelligence is shaping the course of human existence. Scotland has survived a tumultuous century and is forging into the future. But although it has moved on from the primitive, obsolescent times of the twenty-first century, there is still poverty, crime and, at times, anarchy.Enter the Gang of Seven, an eclectic group plucked from the varied echelons of Scotland's population. These bold representatives convene at a grandiose Scottish estate to formulate a constitution to revolutionise the lives of Scots everywhere, through a series of discourses. Told from the perspective of a national historian, using contemporary evidence from these discourses, the persistent struggle to define what a ‘perfect' society would be is explored with a thought-provoking mix of gravitas and hilarity.
