      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet 0b4fe085       PID: OpenXP/5.0.57 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0400       "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.               Camp Zero: A Novel | Paperback              Michelle Min Sterling              Knopf Canada              Fiction / Dystopian / Feminist / Literary              Published Apr 4, 2023              --- OpenXP 5.0.57        * Origin: Mobile?
