<p>Over a century after being gifted with exceptional genetic adaptations, William Woods still walks the earth, as strong and physically healthy as the day he was born. The country is not so fortunate. Corporations, in the hunt for his elusive genes, have ripped apart communities and twisted laws to try to cash in on his slow aging, and its promise for immortality. Their minions in the government have erased the past to control the future. To preserve his anonymity and, with it, a chance at equality for millions, he’s witnessed the deterioration of personal freedoms, ethical boundaries and basic infrastructure. But some acts he can’t just sit by and watch. In his quest to save people from being hunted down, William happens upon the survivors who will shape his destiny and the world’s fate. Now that those in power have sidelined all progress they can’t profit from, it's up to William, Lillian and us others to wrestle back evolution, lest it become one more product to manufacture cheaply, poorly and for one faction's gain.</p>

<p>Two girls barely in their teens devise an escape from a world abandoned by the privileged, ravaged by climate change, and losing its way. Will they find what the world has lost and what they've so far only found in one another? Can a manufactured heaven floating amongst the stars provide more than illusions of perfection? How might it improve the world that its customers vacated? When all you have left is the space between you, can you overcome the distance, and what might be lurking in the things that you don't say, the days you can't share, the secrets you keep from yourself? In the absence of government, how can the people left behind avoid a grim fate of air thinner by the day, hope thinner by the hour? Is home where you're from or how it treats you? How much a home is a place where you're not equal? Might you change that by stepping into another person's life? Or stepping into new territories within your own?Once forever is attainable what will it be spent on and in this ultimate success of sustainability who decides what exactly should be sustained? Only one way to find out. From award-winning author Tenea D. Johnson comes Blueprints for Better Worlds. In these linked stories, discover.</p>
