How will the world as you know it come to an end? Call him Lou,
please. His real name is Luigi Gubriace, but he is better known as
Lou Gubrious, a depressive independent investigator with a penchant
for taking the most dismal view possible of the state of the world.
Lou calls it being realistic. In the near future the environment
continues to deteriorate. As the world population approaches eight
billion, the icecaps are still melting, the rainforests are
burning, the oceans are dying, and we are losing more and more
species. Lou thinks there is no hope for humanity, the biosphere is
doomed, and there is no one with a truly effective idea that could
save the world. "The world is mad and we're all going to die," he
says. Lou is called back into action when high level diplomats
choose him to investigate a mysterious series of isolated
epidemics. Meanwhile, Lou has no idea of the powerful international
forces at play, conspiring to save the living planet in the worst
possible way.
