A discussion provoking novel of how close friendships are strained by class and societal status. Set in a tightly enclosed and protected world where current technological trends advance exponentially, two friends attempt to climb the Reputation Rankings in order to achieve the special privileges reserved for the top percent. Elijah lived in Our Bubble like everyone else. Humans had used their magical minds to survive a terrible storm. A massive flood covered most of the world with water. Years of wintry weather followed. Temperatures would dip so low that people turned into popsicles the moment they walked outside. There was no life outside of Our Bubble. The world was cold. Frozen, actually. Well, at least that's what everyone except Elijah believed. Humans achieved many of their wildest dreams. People were free from disease. All of the hard work was done by machines. No crimes were committed because anyone could have anything they wanted without even having to work a job they didn't like. In fact, the more active a person was in enjoying themselves, the more they were rewarded. Everything a person did was tracked and recorded. All of their actions were calculated and entered into a Reputation Ranking system, a math formula that accounted for every detail in a person's life. The top ten percent of the people were awarded special privileges. Elijah learned what happened to the people that sank too low in the Rankings. He also believed that the outside world had returned to normal. He set off on a mission to lead humans back to the natural world and out from under the reign of an Evil Empress. Of course, the best way we can get to know Elijah is by hearing what others said about him. In Our Bubble, your reputation was your reality. This story follows two friends, Charlotte and Isabella, as they travel two divergent paths that eventually reconnect at the most important moment of Our Bubble's existence. At the end of the day, a story by itself still can only go so far in deciding if someone is remembered as 'good' or 'bad.' Two people can hear the same story and come away with opposite feelings. Some might say Elijah was a good person. Others will say he was a bad guy. It would be as easy to call him a terrorist as it would be to call him a prophet or a savior. I guess all I can do is tell you about him. It's up to you to decide how we remember Elijah and whether we will celebrate or curse his quest for life Beyond Our Bubble.
