TThe year is 2113. Disease, war, and famine have caused the world population to shrink from 8 billion to a few hundred million within the matter of a decade. Amid societal unraveling, a revolutionary company - Dream Corp - rose from the ashes and changed world order as anyone knew it. All that remains of modern society is contained within twenty-four Dream Corp units scattered across the globe. There are no borders. There are no countries. There is only Dream Corp. A singular world economy. The product at the center of The Clockwise Revolution? Time. A team of skilled scientists have commercialized sleep banking, the process by which one extracts the restorative properties of another's sleep. Nascent is the first book in The Clockwise Chronicles trilogy that follows a young woman coming of age, Juniper Griffith. Juniper was born and raised in Dream Corp Onyx, the first of the twenty-four Dream Corp units. Dr. Sona, the radical and zealous inventor of the technology who launched this socioeconomic revolution, oversees Dream Corp Onyx and imposes her staunch views on the residents. Juniper lives among the Aristoi, the most elite social class at Dream Corp Onyx, with her parents and younger sister. She grapples with the class system even as she accepts an invitation to join the Aristoi as an apprentice. Yet her world is turned upside down when she receives an unexpected message from an unknown source. Together with her best friend, Chaz, she embarks on a dangerous and uncertain journey to uncover the truth about Dream Corp. The reality is more dire and unfathomable than Juniper could have ever imagined.
