2052. The world is a mess. The climate change meltdown has
triggered an endless cycle of natural disasters. Nationalist
paramilitaries battle against religious extremists. Multinational
corporations, with their own security forces, have replaced global
institutions as the only real power-brokers. Waves of pandemics
have closed borders with such regularity that travelhas become
mostly virtual. Aurora, a middle-aged sociologist, tries not to
think about how the world has turned so chaotic and dangerous. At
university, she focuses on her students. At home, it 's her
children. She devotes her spare time to writing poetry. She 's
relatively comfortable, but not particularly happy. And she 's
angry at how small her life has become.Then one day a strange woman
walks into Aurora 's life and, in an instant, the world 's chaos
gets personal. Suddenly the obscure professor has a target on her
back and the fate of the world in her hands. Her salvation, and
that of the planet as well, lies in the mysteries locked inside the
head of this enigmatic woman who has appeared on her doorstep.
Unlocking those mysteries will take Aurora on a virtual journey
around the fragmented globe and up against the world 's most
powerful corporation. Songlands, the stand-alone finale to the
Splinterlands trilogy, describes humanity 's last shot at solving
the world 's problems. Can Aurora assemble a team to reverse the
splintering of the international community and avert an even more
dystopian future?
