The Eddan Collective

More about the book

Set in 2016, the narrative follows Annika Trent, a scholar of the late Roman Empire, as she establishes the Eddan Collective, a Marxist group anticipating societal collapse. The memoir explores her challenges with her collaborators and chronic illness, alongside her mystical experiences conversing with St. Augustine in fifth-century North Africa. As Annika's influence wanes, she inadvertently contributes to the decline of the Humanities in academia. Ultimately, her dialogues prompt a profound personal transformation, blending themes of intellectual pride and spiritual humility.
