About this title

Synopsis:

The Antpod Faction is a science-fiction adventure story centred on Mase, whose social differences and peculiarities resemble a form of high-functioning autism/asperger syndrome. The Antpod Faction is an allegory for the human condition, seen through the perspective of Mase, who is different and represents a force for change because of her unique blend of talents and weaknesses. Mase is an eccentric female antpod who lives alone in her own apartment in Gosper Town. She spends her time immersed in her own world of possessions. Because of her obsession she is isolated and detached from her kind. One day she witnesses a massacre opposite her apartment, and becomes the target of hostile agents. Mase goes into hiding, seeking help from the powerful organisation called the ACPI. But Mase can’t hide forever. Not only is she in danger, but her family, her friends, and her fellow antpods are in need of salvation. Mase must fight back to survive against the odds. But how will she succeed?
