Milan is under reconstruction. Avaricious authorities and grasping investors create a pillar of opulence. The project goes as planned until they acquire an unexpected group of enemies. Pigeons of Milan, who were already appalled by mistreatment and living in confined spaces, declare war, and they are armed to the teeth. It is too late to back down, and too big to fail. Their well-groomed uprising will reach a point that is beyond their wildest dreams. Edna Gee's debut work Vertical Jungle is a fable about revolution with a twenty-first century twist. Amid a chaos featuring greenwashing politicians, Instagram celebrities, and equally determined and confused freedom warriors, one finds the everyday conflicts of our turbulent times that we know by heart.
