In the Land of the Blind

Sara Beaumont, a real estate agent specializing in house sales, discovers strange notes in a dilapidated mansion that list significant events in American history and names in random order. Some belong to popular historical figures, while others belong to unknown individuals. Sara's curious mind demands nourishment, and she heads to the library, as well as searching for all possible connections and matches online. A few days later, in a crowded place, a mysterious stranger attempts to kill her. Sara realizes that, unwittingly, she has become entangled in a conspiracy where the value of an individual human life is very low. Not one to give up easily, she decides to bring public attention to this and posts her research and findings online. Conspiracy theory and speculation about interference in history? Predictive sociology? The vulnerability of modern humanity to the plans of 'progressors' who interfere in the natural course of events? A novel written in 1990 that has won the 'Locus' and 'Prometheus' awards raises crucial questions about the existence of both individual countries and the entire human civilization.
