In the near future, a student named Anaximandro takes the rigorous entrance exam to the Academy, the governing body of the utopian society in which she was raised. Throughout several grueling sessions, the questions of the court, which raise important ethical and philosophical questions, will lead her to discover a truth that will shake the foundations on which her world is based. This exciting speculative fable, philosophical thriller and humanist meditation, set in the second half of the 21st century, invites reflection on the fragility of our Western civilization.
Bernard Beckett is a New Zealand writer of fiction for young adults. His work includes novels and plays. Beckett has taught Drama, Mathematics and English at several high schools in the Wellington Region, and is currently teaching at Hutt Valley High School in Lower Hutt.
