GRAVITY - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Just about everyone was clinging stubbornly to their combustion engines well into the 21st century, until the $20 gallon of gas broke their self-interested behavior overnight. Will it take another direct hit to the pocketbook to appeal to their sensibilities in the 22nd? GRAVITY is a parable, an entertaining, magically realistic narrative that begins in the year 2080, when a curious deficit in gravitational forces sets the stage for Olympian-level performances by amateur athletes in Greenland. (You know Greenland - that series of temperate islands and not a single ounce of summer ice). But why is gravity seemingly so tenuous way up north? And what about its reciprocal increase way down south at the bottom of the world, in Tierra del Fuego, where it has become impossible to get out of bed in the morning? And why does no one in the vast unaffected midsection of the globe care, not one little bit? Can our heroes come up with a subtle, sneaky, stealthy way to stick it to the global midsection, to hit ‘em where it counts?
