Up until the moment a fatal system crash booted him out of the simulation he’d been living in, Anton Martins thought he was a child of the 80s living in the shadows of a rapidly escalating Cold War. Now he roams the ruins of a civilization destroyed by zombies, homicidal robots, nuclear weapons, but – most of all – the bumbling foolishness of the same super corp that created the game he grew up in. Relying on his old simulator habits, Anton seeks out a new niche for himself by taking up any job or errand offered, dragging his new companions – a Soviet survivalist, a mechanically-minded goth, and an inept aspiring engineer – in his wake. The shambling silhouettes of preservative-laden, sugar zombies threaten at every turn as the party struggles to survive in the Wastelands, save a small settlement from itself, and decipher the lingering whispers of a wise man from the World Before. But the apocalypse is no video game, and humanity has no one to blame but itself…

Follow Max and Mia as they take an unexpected ride on a bubblegum balloon, floating through the sky and discovering a land of sweet surprises.
