Specificatii
A deep-dive into human behavior in
an epic story of science, society, sex, and survival, from one of
the greatest American novelists today, T. C. Boyle, the acclaimed,
bestselling, author of the PEN/ Faulkner Award-winning World's End
and The Harder They Come. It is 1994, and in the desert near
Tillman, Arizona, forty miles from Tucson, a grand experiment
involving the future of humanity is underway. As climate change
threatens the earth, eight scientists, four men and four women
dubbed the "Terranauts," have been selected to live under glass in
E2, a prototype of a possible off-earth colony. Their sealed,
three-acre compound comprises five biomes - rainforest, savanna,
desert, ocean, and marsh - and enough wildlife, water, and
vegetation to sustain them. Closely monitored by an all-seeing
Mission Control, this New Eden is the brainchild of ecovisionary
Jeremiah Reed, aka G.C. - "God the Creator" - for whom the project
is both an adventure in scientific discovery and a momentous
publicity stunt. In addition to their roles as medics, farmers,
biologists, and survivalists, his young, strapping Terranauts must
impress watchful visitors and a skeptical media curious to see if
E2's environment will somehow be compromised, forcing the
Ecosphere's seal to be broken - and ending the mission in failure.
As the Terranauts face increased scrutiny and a host of disasters,
both natural and of their own making, their mantra: "Nothing in,
nothing out," becomes a dangerously ferocious rallying cry. Told
through three distinct narrators - Dawn Chapman, the mission's
pretty, young ecologist; Linda Ryu, her bitter, scheming best
friend passed over for E2; and Ramsay Roothorp, E2's sexually
irrepressible Wildman - The Terranauts brings to life an
electrifying, pressured world in which connected lives are
uncontrollably pushed to the breaking point. With characteristic
humor and acerbic wit, T.C. Boyle indelibly inhabits the
perspectives of the various players in this survivalist game,
probing their motivations and illuminating their integrity and
fragility to illustrate the inherent fallibility of human nature
itself.
