Description
Elspin is born without a nervous system; a brain with no connection to the world. She is locked within her dreams in an infinite universe of inner space and should have withered into nothing but instead she grew. She explored a rich uncharted cosmology of thoughts while attached to a machine that she could never know existed. What were her dreams? So what is reality? Meanwhile outside, in the 'real' world, the environmental crisis has worsened. The 'Greens' have splintered into warring factions, 'Big Business' remains complacent and the government arbitrates. Technology continues to progress and consumerism creates growth and economic stability as well as making people rich. There are those environmentalists who believe that reasoning will win public opinion across and put pressure on the government to act, while others resort to the bomb. A radical group has the solution. They have liberated a virus that will remove humans from the equation and return the planet to nature so that it can heal. The book is set in the near future in a world not too different to our own. The technology is more advanced. The people are the same. The characters play their part in small affairs and large as passions flare, global issues are addressed and philosophies are explored. Is humanity doomed from virus, poisons or themselves? Is there a universe within? And what is the reality of a dream?
