Summary:
"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, where air is filtered and every imaginable amenity is on offer, while people on the mainland struggle to survive. In a former oil town in northern Canada called Dominion Lake, a camp is being built--Camp Zero. A rare source of fresh, clean air, it's the beginning of a new community and a new way of life. A brilliant and determined young Korean-American woman employed as a sex worker to the elite is offered a chance to join the Blooms, a group meant to service the men in Camp--but her mission is to secretly monitor the mercurial architect in charge. In return, she'll receive a home for her displaced mother and herself. Desperate to help her mother and eager to leave the mind-numbing City, she accepts the assignment. Upon arrival at Camp Zero, she is named Rose. Rose quickly secures the trust of her target; but in the north, she begins to sense a new way forward, and her objective shifts. Through skillfully entwined perspectives including a young professor longing to escape his wealthy family, and the collective voice of an all-female US military brigade at a climate research station in the Arctic, the fate of the Camp and its select 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, intimacy and connection may sustain us."--Provided by publisher.
