Description
"A timely, engrossing SF tale with an environmental theme and striking art" that "offers readers just as many reasons to return for the sequel." -Kirkus Reviews
A scientist's lifetime mission becomes a global movement to balance environmental needs with technology and the economy. As climate change creates a cascade of disasters, her movement becomes governmental policy in nations around the world.
In a far future, that movement has created a utopia where the world is in perfect balance, but corruption is seeping in.
Even further into the future, civilisation has collapsed.
We Promised Utopia is a story told over thousands connecting clues on how one woman's obsession created a perfect world, why it failed, and how a small band of survivors might just create it again.
"Intriguing," "ambitious," and "something different than what's on the shelves today."-Brett Schenker, The Graphic Policy
