From Tasmania to Sardinia populations fled storms, famines, diseases, and wars. Species once thought rescued from extinction or too widespread to be impacted underwent drastic die-offs that rendered them almost mythical to generations of children. Nations once thought impervious to harm suffered schisms that broke them apart, pledged themselves to fascist leaders, or fought wars to the knife over clean water and fertile land.
Regardless of when precisely the Great Collapse began, none can argue against what the term meant: Climate collapse. Ecological collapse. Civilizational collapse.
This is not a history of the Great Collapse, the lead up to it, or the conflicts that raged during it. Neither is it an attempt to outline in exhausting detail how we as a species survived it, how the pressure-cooker environment of the Arctic and Antarctic forged new bonds between peoples, or how Tsitsi Chen and Barbara Mahkan developed the math that allowed for achronal gateways. Instead, this book is the story of what came after. The good and the bad.
