David W. Powell enlisted for a tour of duty in April 1966 with the US Marines after receiving an imminent draft notice.

I wasn’t supposed to have a name anymore—just a barcode and a fertility profile. The breeders’ convoy taught us our place: stay sedated, stay collared, stay quiet while we’re shipped through the Allied Zones to whoever paid best. Cameras watched our every breath.

They’re salvagers and smugglers, ex-military ghosts with no official records and even less respect...

There is a whole line of people breathing inside you. This book is their voice. A woman lights a candle for her dead grandmother. She isn't quite sure why. And yet that gesture—so ordinary almost no one notices it—carries more than five thousand years of documented history. The Sumerians did it before their clay niches. The Romans did it before the lararium. The Yoruba do it for their Egun, the Chinese for their ancestral tablets, the Mexicans on the illuminated night of the second of November. We are the first generation in human history to have decided—collectively, loudly—that ...
