As the world descends deeper into war, one isolated and self-sustaining city remains untouched. Its inhabitants, identified not by names but by ever-changing letters and numbers, enjoy safety at a price: regimented corporate control.

With the city crumbling under the weight of its brutality, a beautiful architect and a mild-mannered accountant vie for power and influence, but will terrifying discoveries make them question all their beliefs? And under the pursuit of the city's psychotic enforcer, will they ever escape the Oligopolis?...

"Mark Wilk, who clearly knows his way around classic dystopian science fiction tales of the Zamyatin, Huxley, Orwell, and Bradbury kind, has lots on his mind about such all-too-timely themes as totalitarianism, mindless conformity, and loss of personal identity in "Oligopolis." Stephen Rebello, "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho."

"Wilk has crafted a potent and timely satire whose tightness and brevity find inspiration not just in the usual dystopian suspects but in slender-but-rich SF novels by the likes of Arthur C. Clarke and Jack Vance, visionaries who didn't need hundreds of pages to conjure worlds, bend minds, and dazzle readers..." -Booklife
