Description
In this darkly humorous and philosophically engaging sci-fi adventure, a wayward young woman and her straightlaced companion awake from 200 years of “suspended life” to a future that challenges many ideas about what it means to be and to remain human. The technological changes that have transpired during their long sleep rattle them, but even more mind-boggling are the startling views they must grapple with regarding sex, family, and regeneration.
Although they do not know it, the two young visitors from the past have a significant role to play in humankind’s unfolding drama. The citizens of this post-apocalyptic world hope to discover from their time travelers some clue that might delay humankind’s downward slide into oblivion.
And if this solitary survival colony fails to come up with a rescue plan, there is still Ike, an extraordinarily creative AI who has an existential trick up its sleeve to save the human footprint. But Ike’s remedy might not be the sort of pill that most homo sapiens would readily swallow. To borrow an old expression, “desperate times require desperate measures”. And as it stands, the hands of the Doomsday Clock rest a mere nanosecond from midnight.
