\n"The time is 2025. The place is California\, where small walled communities must protect the mselves from hordes of desperate scavengers and roaming bands of people ad dicted to a drug that activates an orgasmic desire to burn\, rape\, and mu rder. When one small community is overrun\, Lauren Olamina\, an 18 year ol d black woman with the hereditary train of 'hyperempathy' -- which causes her to feel others' pain as her own -- sets off on foot along the dangerou s coastal highways\, moving north into the unknown."
