Earth has been severely depopulated, not due to any one calamity but because of many. Some humans have given up, gone off to Mars. Others pursue digital eternal life. And yet others, like Dylan and Melanie, are holdouts, and some of those holdouts are constructing a vast molecular collection in hopes that someone in the future may be alive to make a new Earth. Foolhardy? Misguided? Probably. But what can a human (or a robot) do? The Martian named Zee might have an opinion, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the end of Unferth’s wild, poetic, consistently surprising, and slyly philosophical novel, the reader has traveled to the very edges of the cosmos and into the muck of a wandering “soul globule.” It’s the most exhilarating work to date by one of our most distinctive and original American writers\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47848500527255,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/0349\/4039\/files\/9781644453940_f71a6.jpg?v=1779919026","url":"https:\/\/littledistrictbooks.com\/products\/earth-7","provider":"Little District Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
