A note for parents

Null States is a complex political science fiction novel centered on global governance, corruption, and power struggles rather than action or violence. While it includes some violence (a death by explosion, references to conflict), the focus is on intrigue, espionage, and moral dilemmas. The book explores mature themes like political corruption and systemic instability, making it better suited for older teens comfortable with political complexity. LGBTQ+ characters are present but not central to the plot.

As the new Supermajority government struggles to establish its legitimacy, agents of Information across the globe strive to keep the peace and maintain the flows of data that feed the new world order. In the newly-incorporated DarFur, a governor dies in a fiery explosion. In Geneva, a superpower hatches plans to bring micro-democracy to its knees.
