2048 — The Ashes of Europe

A continent has lost its memory. Someone still preserves it.

In the future of 2048 The Ashes of Europe, security has devoured freedom and daily life follows the rhythms of Gaïa, Neuralis and MedEuropa. Cities breathe in step with the systems of control; beneath that apparent peace, authentic words become a form of resistance.

An archivist, a geneticist and a disillusioned doctor travel through a wounded Europe. From Paris to Milan and Berlin, from Avignon to Rome and Naples, their stories intertwine around memory, consciousness and the possibility of choice.

Inside the 2048 universe

Iano Pacifero combines narrative tension and philosophical reflection in a dystopian novel about the relationship between the individual and power. A clandestine text resurfaces in the story: The Struggle Against Oligarchic Collectivism, the forbidden book also featured in 2048 Atlantica.
