Description
Seaweed Rising by Rob Magnuson Smith is set beneath the sea, where sentient beings have been waiting for humanity's final mistakes. Manfred, an amateur seaweed collector, becomes convinced that algae are taking over the human race. His obsession leads him to fall in love with Nora, who has her own theories about seaweeds and a troubled past. As their relationship deepens, Manfred and Nora embark on a journey across different landscapes, from coastal villages to the Arctic wilderness. Along the way, they examine the intricate relationships between humans and the natural world. This genre-bending existential drama explores themes of identity, love, and the interconnectedness of all living things. Through its unique blend of magical realism and dystopian elements, Seaweed Rising raises important questions about our place in the world and the consequences of our actions.
