On a warm March night in 2083, Judy Wallach-Stevens wakes to a
warning of unknown pollutants in the Chesapeake Bay. She heads out
to check what she expects to be a false alarm—and stumbles upon
the first alien visitors to Earth. These aliens have crossed the
galaxy to save humanity, convinced that the people of Earth must
leave their ecologically-ravaged planet behind and join them among
the stars. And if humanity doesn't agree, they may need to be saved
by force. The watershed networks aren't ready to give up on Earth.
Decades ago, they rose up to exile the last corporations to a few
artificial islands, escape the dominance of nation-states, and
reorganize humanity around the hope of keeping their world
liveable. By sharing the burden of decision-making, they've started
to heal the wounded planet. But now corporations, nation-states,
and networks all vie to represent humanity to these powerful new
beings, and if any one accepts the aliens' offer, Earth may be
lost. With everyone’s eyes turned skyward, everything hinges on
the success of Judy's effort to create understanding, both within
and beyond her own species. A literary descendent of Ursula K. Le
Guin, Emrys crafts a novel of extraterrestrial diplomacy and urgent
climate repair bursting with quiet, tenuous hope and an underlying
warmth. A Half-Built Garden depicts a world worth building towards,
a humanity worth saving from itself, and an alien community worth
entering with open arms. It's not the easiest future to build, but
it's one that just might be in reach.
