The story is set in the future in an unidentified country with a severe water shortage and rationing. What is available appears to cause people to become \“docile, amenable to all suggestions from the government\” (89), and the protagonists search for answers. The author discusses the story in an interview with Deborah Treisman at https://www.newyorker.com/books/this-week-in-fiction/ben-okri-09-19-22.

The novel tells how the people of the country come to free themselves from the Hierarchy, a particularly vicious authoritarian dystopia told through the stories of three main characters, a boy whose grandfather has passed on the traditional myths, a man whose lover is suddenly taken by the police for speaking forbidden words, and a girl whose father is imprisoned for writing. All the old myths are rewritten to support the current situation and all other books are burned.\
