Description
Life goes on for billions left behind after a humanity-saving colony mission to Proxima Centauri leaves Earth orbit. For Julie Riley, life is about finding meaning in a world without purpose. She's over-educated, under-employed, and numb from her pharma emplant. Her best friend, part of the Proxima Centauri mission, has left her behind. When Julie's mother decides to move to the city, Julie takes matters into her own hands. She runs, hoping to find solace with the Volksgeist - a loose-knit culture of tramps, hoboes, and artists who have chosen to ride out the end of the world in their campers and converted vans. As Julie navigates this new world, she must confront the harsh realities of survival and discover what it means to be alive.
