Audiobook Review: The Magic Circle by Barry Ryerson

Continents formed The Peace Accords, an agreement that cut all contact with each other to prevent such a war from ever happening again.

The remains of Europe have removed all traces of fossil fuels and computer technology, preferring a mixture of basic electronic devices and biological engineering.
