How to Wake a Planet — Scavinold
How To Wake a Planet is a off beat, way out of the box journey, through mankind's constant inability to deal with the most elementary of questions. Scavinold reminds us, as he is so fond of doing, just how unprepared we are for inevitable systems failures ahead, and the often overlooked sweeping effects of the simple person and a simple life.
Mars is an established colony. Earth is rebounding from an unprecedented natural disaster. Eighty years have passed since anyone has traveled between the two worlds, and so much has changed. A diplomatic mission from Earth aims to re-spark the commitment between the two planets. But cultures, philosophies, spiritual beliefs, and all the everyday things we never include in our intentions, good or bad, will decide the day. How to Wake a Planet is Scavinold's tribute to classic Sci-fi, and illumination of trends already in effect for our near future. Mars worms. AI Government. Earth religious beliefs altered beyond recognition. Insects. The undaunted creativity of youth. A deep and compelling journey for all ages.
