The Star Garden
The Forgotten City tells the story of Martha, born and raised on the lower floors of a two kilometre high tower where identity chips control what people can buy, which floors they can travel to and when they can leave their rooms, whilst cameras monitor all public places at all times.
Most people are satisfied with life, the monotony and claustrophobia made bearable through meaningless sex and virtual reality. The worlds they interact with are said to be artificial, and so when a perfect baby girl inexplicably appears in one, they do not know what to make of her. Explained as a computer error, she is raised alone but watched by millions.
When Martha unravels the shocking truth about the girl's existence, she attempts to break into her world so that she can expose the dark secrets of those that live above.
