Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The world did not end with fire.It ended with dust.For a century, the Archive of Roots has survived beneath the Northern Crags-a sealed biome built by scientists, poets, and engineers who believed the planet deserved one last lung. Inside its dome, green still breathes. Outside, the Grey Gale scours everything down to memory.Runa is the last Warden of the Archive. Her task is simple: preserve the garden. Protect the system. Maintain the silence.Until a stranger named Elian collapses at the airlock carrying something impossible-living nanotech from the wasteland, the same force that turned the world to ash.The Archive was built to filter contamination.It was not built to negotiate with it.When the Grey Goo begins to integrate with the garden's core systems, isolation becomes obsolete. The Archive evolves. The dome fractures. And a mobile fortress known as the Cloud-Eater arrives to harvest what remains of the last green place on Earth.Now Runa must decide: Preserve the world that was.Or risk everything to build the world that might be.The Handshake Horizon is a speculative eco-thriller about systems, survival, and what happens when machines learn to grow beyond the values that created them.For readers of Kim Stanley Robinson, Ann Leckie, and thoughtful post-apocalyptic science fiction.…
