The federal Department of Education has been eliminated, and \u003cb\u003eCuchu Ramirez\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eMatias Kim\u003c\/b\u003e watch their country implement complete educational apartheid. As corporate-sanitized curricula replace real history and underground networks become students' only hope for truth, they journey back 2,000 years to witness \u003cb\u003eClassical Flourishing\u003c\/b\u003e-and discover that ancient peoples created urban sophistication that rivals anything in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the \u003cb\u003eHeritage Foundation 2.0\u003c\/b\u003e has achieved something terrifying: they're using supernatural power to alter collective memory itself.
