In 2032, fire destroyed the cities of the old world. One man recalls how greed, power and hubris doomed civilization in the Quantum Age. As humanity rebuilds, what will he tell the new world? The Fires of Orc is the story of a frighteningly possible future, one in which truth is determined not by correspondence with fact, but by number of web hits, and in which politics is a numbers game subsumed by an entertainment culture. Fifty years after global calamity, a survivor who was there to witness the end eyes the future of human civilization and recalls how the past went so very wrong.
The Fires of Orc is post-apocalyptic fiction in the style of Ursula LeGuin and Philip K. Dick. It's themes are cutting edge contemporary told in a voice that recalls an earlier American modernism.
