In a dystopian future, Jude has spent her entire life in an underground bunker, believing that the outside world is uninhabitable due to a deadly virus. Raised under the strict doctrines of the council, which includes her devout parents, Jude's curiosity about the world above is ignited when she overhears a shocking conversation: the virus is a lie, and the bunker's life support systems are failing.
Determined to uncover the truth, Jude confides in her closest friends-Ella, Leo, and Maya. The group, bonded by their shared skepticism and longing for freedom, devises a daring plan to escape the bunker. They aim to find evidence of the council's deception and secure a future for their people. They are ready to face the unknown world above, driven by a determination to find the truth and save their community from the web of lies that has ensnared them for generations.

The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to Disillusionment by JimInfantino
40 parts Complete
Book 2 of the Wakeful Wanderer's series. Book 1 is The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to New New England & Beyond. That's a good place to start. It's available here. The America of our near-future is divided across socio-economic and technological-philosophical lines. The Traditionalists eschew any and all post-human technologies in favor of tangible materials. They uphold strict hierarchical structures based on religion, family, and leadership. They long for the return of the global markets wiped out by a world-shaking disaster called The Great Tide. The Interconnected stand in stark opposition to their ways, living without property, family, or religion, and modifying their bodies with the help of new and invasive technologies. They speak to each other wordlessly, employing a technological telepathy they call 'thexting' to communicate mind to mind, and embrace the gifting economy of Merit to maintain their post-scarcity lifestyles. Marto, the traveling Interconnected historian, has exiled himself to protect the ones he loves from his dark secret. In his absence, Helen, a runaway Traditionalist aristocrat, struggles to find her place among the Interconnected, unwilling to return to her cruel family. Reyleena, the former head of security in the Interconnected town of Reverside, has returned to a life of quiet solitude, broken occasionally by the impositions of The Other, an omnipresent AI, who will not leave her alone. Meanwhile, Barnabas, the Traditionalist leader of New Atlantic, fights to return to his township in the wake of an attack. Nora, his sister, remains in Reverside and must come to terms with her new life in captivity.
