Synopsis

As the 21st century draws to a close, global warming transforms Earth into a hostile landscape, leaving humanity vulnerable to nature's unforgiving elements and surging seas. In response, a visionary designs a sprawling, technologically advanced underground city. Here, bio-luminescent flora illuminates the shadowy avenues, while an artificial sky recreates the world above. However, this haven isn't accessible to all. Through a rich tapestry of characters and their interwoven stories, the novel explores modern ethical challenges: the urgency of taking action to save the planet, the struggle between welcoming outsiders and ensuring one's own survival, the tension between progress and remorse, vision and nostalgia. It offers tales of bold adventures, unforeseen dangers, enduring love, and resilience—presented with a pervasive touch of poetry. A novel that puts our civilization in front of a mirror, which at the same time reflects our past and our future, through an ethical journey of the imagination.
