Now that anyone can design and print the basic necessities of life—food\, clothing\, shelter—from a computer\, there seems to be little reason to toil within the system. It’s still a dangerous world out there\, the empty lands wrecked by climate change\, dead cities hollowed out by industrial flight\, shadows hiding predators animal and human alike. Still\, when the initial pioneer walkaways flourish\, more people join them. Soon the walkaways discover the one thing the ultra-rich have never been able to buy: how to beat death. Now it’s war\, and it threatens to turn the world upside down.\nPLEASE NOTE: Walkaway contains mature adult themes and content.					 \n					\n										\n					\n										\n												\n							December 3\, 2026

Now that anyone can design and print the basic necessities of life—food\, clothing\, shelter—from a computer\, there seems to be little reason to toil within the system. It’s still a dangerous world out there\, the empty lands wrecked by climate change\, dead cities hollowed out by industrial flight\, shadows hiding predators animal and human alike. Still\, when the initial pioneer walkaways flourish\, more people join them. Soon the walkaways discover the one thing the ultra-rich have never been able to buy: how to beat death. Now it’s war\, and it threatens to turn the world upside down.\nPLEASE NOTE: Walkaway contains mature adult themes and content.					 \n					\n										\n					\n										\n												\n							December 3\, 2026
