They're stories of regular people rising to extraordinary circumstances to survive extreme winter weather, to fix a threat to their community's energy source, to save a living city from a deep-rooted sickness. Some take place after an environmental catastrophe, with luxury resorts and military bases and mafia strongholds transformed into sustainable communes; others rethink the way we could organize cities, using skybridges and seascrapers and constructed islands to adapt to the changes of the Anthropocene. Even when the nights are long, the future is bright in these seventeen diverse tales.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50101610938591,"sku":"9781732254688","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/SmtodmxiWWFmSTkzOEFIL2dqQW5pZz09.webp?v=1781071822"},{"product_id":"absence-hardcover","title":"Absence - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn this gripping, moving, and genre-blending speculative debut, the world is unraveling from an epidemic of human vanishing.
