Capitalism’s AI nightmare ends in ruin, and the struggles of building, defending, and transforming a liberated future are no longer the dreamwork of utopia. But what happens after the revolution succeeds?

In Yellow, the unlikely beginning of another world is forged in the aftermath of capitalism’s seeming AI-induced victory over labor, a delirious and ultimately fatal gamble on the prospect of eliminating workers from the process of value-creation. 

In a future where nobody has a way to make a living, the final conflict between workers and their bosses begins with a mysterious new way to communicate, and ends with the billionaires fleeing into digital fortresses to escape the revenge of an angry humanity. In the smoke of that disaster, people assemble to rebuild a damaged planet. A new way of living has arisen, and the world has turned towards it for hope and a way forward. But what happens to the revolution when the enemy disappears?

Following three intertwined narratives, Yellow explores the history of the struggle that brought down the supremacy of money; the lives of those trying to survive within the terms of the revolutionary society that follows; and the psychotic imaginations of the disembodied elites, whose desire for revenge against the world they no longer control breeds terrible consequences.

A sharp, darkly comic, and politically imaginative work of speculative fiction, Yellow offers a vision of liberation that remains complicated, unfinished, and alive.
