When Gavin Meckler's light aircraft encounters a mysterious cloud
and crashes to earth, he discovers that the eerily quiet landscape
in which he has landed is 200 years older than the one from which
he took off. In this gentle, peaceful, sustainable new world, it is
possible to travel from one side of the globe to the other in a
matter of minutes without burning fuel, and everyone is a gardener
because that's how they can be sure to eat. Inspired by William
Morris's utopian novel News from Nowhere, Robert Llewellyn shows us
a future where we don't burn anything to make anything else and
which isn't hovering on the brink of disaster; where aliens haven't
invaded, meteors haven't hit and zombies haven't taken over. In
short, a world where humanity eventually gets it right. All the
technology described in the novel has seen the light of day in
reality. Llewellyn's future isn't perfect and may not be very
likely, but it is entirely possible.
