Set in 2032 in small-town Ohio, The Obsolete Truth is a look at what might happen if men don't evolve. Soon. Women (now called Sisters) rule the world and brothers (never ever say men) are almost extinct, due to The Change in leadership, The War between the genders, and The Y, a virus that kills only brothers. Conspiracists believe Sisters created the virus. Undergrounders and Appleseeds (sperm donors) fight for a rumored vaccine, while Sisters redefine themselves, discovering the joy of a world with few brothers.
