Sam es un joven activo e inquieto que lucha junto a su novia, Silvia, por un mundo mejor, mas igualitario, mas justo. Sin embargo, su lucha se trunca tras un fatal desenlace durante la manifestacion de protesta contra su Gobierno. A partir de ese momento, los acontecimientos se precipitan en toda Europa provocando un colapso economico y social. El viejo continente se sumerge en el mayor conflicto vivido desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A pesar de todo, Europa consigue resurgir de sus cenizas de una forma tan poderosa que acabara impactando al resto del planeta. A diferencia de otras novelas o historias que presentan un futuro oscuro y distopico, Perfectopia apuesta por un futuro lleno de esperanza, donde el ser humano ha conseguido superar la mayor parte de sus retos actuales, cambiando su forma de pensar y de actuar, imponiendose a si mismo un cambio de mentalidad y desarrollando un futuro que, ahora si, sera digno de heredar por nuestros hijos. Bienvenidos a Perfectopia.
