So what is it about? Oh, so many things! I actually plan to go through the whole book and talk about the content. But since this is the first post let's go for a summary.
Bubble Burst is a fiction book, but it is designed to raise awareness about a number of important issues that I care about. To name a few: promoting veganism, raising awareness about the horrors of the dairy industry, promoting real vision zero, addressing the dangers of suvs and car based societies in general, addressing issues of the dangers of gun violence, addressing the issues of forced helicopter parenting, and raising awareness for cycling.
It's set in 2085. The United States has divided into two countries; basically the good people who care about society and those around them went to one society; those who just want to be selfish went to another society.
This first book takes place in the selfish society, with a girl named Jael who questions the society she lives in. From my amazon page:
Jael’s life is miserable. Her mom and sister are selfish and mean. She doesn’t fit in at school. She doesn’t fit into her society, the Republic of Ekalfwons, nicknamed “the free and safe society”. And worst of all like all “children” in her society at age 23 she has five more years locked in a bubble until she reaches adulthood at 28. But Jael is about to meet a mysterious stranger. But when he opens her eyes to the truth about her society she is going to have to make choices; choices which will put her on a dangerous path in a society where money is more important than lives.
I plan to have about five books in the series. But don't worry the first book isn't what I consider a cliff hanger. Without saying too much my concept for the second book is that the government and people of Ekalfwons are angry because of what happens in the first book.
