   "In a near-future northern settlement, a handful of climate     
   change survivors find their fates intertwined in this     
   mesmerizing and transportive novel in the vein of Station     
   Eleven and The Power.   
      
   "America, 2049: Summer temperatures are intolerably high, the   
   fossil fuel industry has shut down, and humans are implanted   
   with a `Flick' at birth, which allows them to remain   
   perpetually online. The top echelons of society live in   
   Floating Cities off the coast, while people on the mainland   
   struggle to survive. For Rose, working as a hostess in the   
   city's elite club feels like her best hope for a better future.   
      
   "When a high-profile client offers Rose a job as an escort at a   
   fledgling company in northern Canada called Camp Zero-a source   
   of fresh, clean air and cool temperatures-in return for a home   
   for her displaced mother and herself, she accepts it. But in   
   the north, all is not as it seems.   
      
   "Through skillfully entwined perspectives, including a young   
   professor longing to escape his wealthy family and a group of   
   highly trained women engaged in climate surveillance at a Cold   
   War era research station, the fate of the Camp and its   
   inhabitants comes into stunning relief. Atmospheric, original,   
   and utterly gripping, Camp Zero interrogates the seductive and   
   chilling notion of a utopia; asks who and what will survive as   
   global tensions rise; and imagines how love may sustain us.
