Amy Beckett has dedicated her life to Diversity—after all, she’s third-generation Diverse—and has recently been promoted to vice commander of the organization that has replaced the police and military of New America... The Homeowners Association. In the walled megacity of Maple Ridge Phase II in New California, a utopian facade thrives in the not-so-distant future. Perfectly manicured lawns, clean streets, and pumpkin spice lattes abound, but only for those who abide by strict Diversity laws. Anything deemed Undiverse— unhealthy food, non-approved music, comedy, even bodily functions—is strictly banned for the sake of environmental purity. Yet, beneath this pristine exterior, Beckett uncovers a hidden world teeming with crime and decay—a forbidden side of the city, free from the constraints of Diversity laws. As doubts about her own beliefs grow, she questions whether true freedom can thrive under an iron fist of enforced equality. Now a fugitive from the very Homeowners Association she once served with pride, Beckett must navigate a perilous path to reclaim her beliefs and uncover the truth about the society she once upheld.
