Zoe & GlicoEine kurze, gnadenlose LitRPG • Geschichte aus der Welt von Steve Wilds „Klassenlos“. Als die Welt stirbt, bleibt nur der Kampf. Zwei junge Frauen, wie sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, stellen sich dem Ende – und entdecken, dass der wahre Feind nicht immer tot ist. Zoe war Söldnerin – abgebrüht, pragmatisch und bewaffnet. Glico war das Gegenteil – chaotisch, bunt und Gewalt kennt sie höchstens aus Videospielen.

Eigentlich wollte ich einfach nur den Sommer vor dem College genießen: Volleyball, Sonne, Freiheit.

Wilde argues that socialism, by harnessing technology, liberates humanity from the shackles of soul-crushing labor, allowing the State to fade away and paving the way for a joyful, anarchic hedonism. He provocatively asks, Is this Utopian? and asserts that a world map without Utopia is incomplete, as it neglects the one ...
