It is the FUTURE!
So, we have finally used up all our fossil fuels for heat and cars. Corn oil is a nessesay ingredient for the cure for cancer and thus, none can be spared for those organic engine things. All trees have been cut down, all coal gone, so there is no heat in the winter. We have already burned all wooden furniture in the world to make fire for warmth and fuel for our now steam powered vehicles. To avoid cold, there has been a mass migration into Florida and Mexico, but over population has caused warm states and countries to close their borders.
It comes to this, in order for those up in Maine, Greenland, and Canada to survive we need to start burning books for heat! Du-da-duuuun!
You are a writer (Duh) and have been forced to enter a raffle in which all writers were required to enter. You win and your prize--You get to help pick the one modern book that will not be burned for heat. (The government needs to leave some literature behind for future generations). But you can't pick anything you've written and you can't pick a typical classic (Moby Dick, Gulliver's Travles, Jane Eyre, ect.). They already have one of each of the classics locked up in a vault for the future. Here it is. By some odd coincidence, all AW members won the raffle and as a result are placed on a council that will debate and ultimately decided which modern book lives. So, here we are. Place your book on the table, argue your case, argue against other cases, and pick...
The future is in our hands.
