On the hotter and much more volatile Earth in the 23rd century, humans like Clare and Jon reside in utopia, hunting and gathering in small tribal bands, employed in daily fine art and ritual, reunited with old friends like the shaggy mammoth and giant ground sloth. Even better, they still have solar-powered notebooks and can communicate with each other surrounding the world. The understanding of physics in addition has advanced. When experts first cloned extinct species from the Pleistocene, they discovered that many of them were telepathic - that consciousness vacations in waves. For many people, animism is among the most preferred faith, a panpsychism appropriate for the laws of a fractal holographic world. As Clare instructs one of her students, the return to an older, Paleolithic lifestyle is "one of humanity's greatest achievements." It's too bad that utopia was required to come at such a cost: a genetically made supervirus that wiped out the majority of Earth's population. Humanity was shaken by that event and vowed to change. Now, on the 150th wedding anniversary of that catastrophe, a little group of women and men - and a smarter-than-average dire wolf and saber-toothed pet cat - are out of the blue faced with decisions where the stakes are greater than ever before. Will Earth do it again the routine of unbridled hubris? Or is humanity's future even stranger than that?
