The Dome Trilogy
In 2007 Jessica Alter introduced us to the dark and moody dystopian future of the Dome World. This intense action adventure is set against the backdrop of a world gone mad with science, testing, surveillance, and shadowy government control over every aspect of the inhabitants of the massive sprawling domes that cover the post-apocalyptic landscape.
This is a world where humanity is tested and sorted, from lofty politicians who live outside the rules to a lowly slave class considered sub-human.
The Dome Trilogy is a world that is both familiar and alien. Chillingly tangible in the best tradition of Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, and Ray Bradbury.
