William O'Beirne lives in a future oppressive hive-like land born from the remnants of the earth left in ruins after the Day of Reckoning. It takes little effort for William to learn Apidae's true repressive nature. His unlawful desire for self-expression attracts attention from cluster leaders, which results in his placement on a permanent watch list. To control its population, the hive employs brain control circuits; video cameras, Intelligent Character Recognition Readers, cluster surveillance drones, and the unstoppable pursuit of the frightening Milo intent on the destruction of all disobedient hive units.
