description: From the critically acclaimed author of Terra Nullius comes a novel in the tradition of Margaret Atwood and Naomi Alderman that explores a future of surveillance disruption and segregation that echoes the horrors of a colonial past.'These are troubling times. The world is a dangerous place' the voice of the Chairman said. 'I can continue to assure you of this: within the Wall you are perfectly safe.'Christine could not sleep she could not wake she could not think. She stared half-blind at the cold screen of her smartphone. She was told the Agency was keeping them safe from the dangers outside an outside world she would never see.She never imagined questioning what she was told what she was allowed to know what she was permitted to think. She never even thought there were questions to ask.The enclave was the only world she knew the world outside was not safe. Staying or leaving was not a choice she had the power to make. But then Christine dared start thinking . . . and from that moment danger was everywhere.In our turbulent times Claire G. Coleman's Enclave is a powerful dystopian allegory that confronts the ugly realities of racism homophobia surveillance greed and privilege and the self-destructive distortions that occur when we ignore our shared humanity.
