The novel begins in a future authoritarian dystopia with very advanced technology in which much of the U.S. has been destroyed and abandoned and with extreme class divisions. Some people choose to walk away into the abandoned countryside hoping to create a freer society. While they are forcibly opposed by those in power and not all those who walk away are trustworthy, a freer society does emerge. The title resonates with Ursula K. Le Guin\’s \“The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas (Variations on a Theme by William James)\” (1973).\
