Good manners never go out of style…do they?
There aren’t any zombies (yet), but the world is still at
the brink of destruction: It’s 2028 and global warming has led to rising
oceans, crazy weather, and resource scarcity. On top of that, someone just
turned the Internet off. Seeing as how it’s humanity’s last chance to turn
things around manners are, understandably, a bit frayed.
Etiquette buff Olive O’Malley is busy microfarming her urban
property and minding her own business (and her chickens) when the government
comes calling. Their goal is to push the populace towards carbon-neutrality
while keeping kvetching to a minimum, and they come with a proposal: transition
Olive’s popular etiquette column to a radio show for the masses, and they’ll
help Olive find her grandfather, who’s gone missing.
Olive doesn’t trust the hipster government officials who try
to bribe her with delicious-but-probably-a-little-evil chocolate pastries, and
declines their offer. (Politely, of course.) But they won't take no for an
answer, and soon Olive is knee-deep in turmoil, eco-terrorism, and missing
chickens. Now she has to untangle herself from their demands and figure out how
to make sure her family (and her poultry) are safe before it’s too late.
