WHAT WILL BECOME OF US? In the deep future beyond the burn line of
the Anthropocene and the extinction of humanity, the city states of
an intelligent species of bear have fallen to a mind-wrecking
plague. The bears' former slaves, a peaceable, industrious and
endlessly curious people, believe that they have inherited the
bounty and beauty of their beloved Mother Earth. But are they
alone? After the death of his master, a famous scholar, Pilgrim
Saltmire vows to complete their research into sightings of
so-called visitors and their sky craft. To discover if they are a
mass delusion created by the stresses of an industrial revolution,
or if they are real - a remnant population of bears which survived
the plague, or another, unknown intelligent species. Risking his
reputation and his life, Pilgrim's search for the truth takes him
from his comfortable home in the shadow of a great library to his
tribe's former home on the chilly coast of the far south, and the
gathering of a dangerous cult in the high desert. Whether or not
the visitors are real, one thing is certain. Pilgrim's world and
everything he thought he knew about his people's history will be
utterly changed. McAuley's fabulous far future, impacted by the
consequences of global warming, colonisation and historical
injustices, explores and reflects our own challenges while telling
a fast paced story of discovery and adventure.
