Airwaves: A Wayfarers Story

by Jim Yackel

A Wayfarers Story follows Dr. Abby Eaton, an on-air personality for AM 63, a pirate radio station on a fading AM band. Simultaneously, the IW2, a new internet, emerges as a free and open alternative to the heavily censored, hyper-algorithmic ALL web. The IW2 resurrects the spirit of the old internet, prioritizing the wants and needs of the people over control and censorship.

As the ALL World Order targets both AM 63 and the IW2, Abby faces intense challenges. Her 13-year-old daughter becomes entangled with a boy on the IW2, a relationship that could put her in grave danger. How far will this young artist go to pursue this perilous situation?

A Wayfarers Story offers a gripping, retro-futuristic narrative driven by a diverse cast of characters. This tense and heart-rendering tale explores themes of freedom, resistance, and the personal cost of defiance in a world teetering on the edge of control and liberation.
