One hundred years after the first man walked on the Moon, climate change and overpopulation make civilization on Earth increasingly difficult, and the planets and moons in our solar system provide inadequate havens. The technological genius, Alastair McCleod, proposes a Prometheus-like solution. He wants to give humankind a new kind of fire, the stars, and as the richest man in the solar system, he devotes his influence, prestige, and wealth to implementing his solution. His Proposal is as controversial as it is simple:
"We don't have the technology to take ourselves to the stars, and so instead, we will send the dead and the unborn."
The Prometheus Proposal is the saga of the McLeod family quest to reach the stars.
