Description
London, 2145. The city has been transformed by the rising tides, its streets now swamps and lush tropical vegetation growing up the walls of the buildings. The iguanas watch from the windows of the office blocks and department stores as the world struggles to come to terms with its future. As the climate crisis takes hold, humanity is forced to confront its ancient past. Some flee the wasteland capital, while others remain to pursue reckless schemes in the name of science and profit. The world is a primeval jungle, and the boundaries between human and animal are increasingly blurred. In this apocalyptic tale, the author explores the consequences of human desire and the fragility of human existence in the face of environmental disaster.
