In a near-future northern settlement, a handful of climate change survivors find their fates intertwined in this mesmerizing and transportive DEBUT novel in the vein of STATION ELEVEN and THE POWER. America, 2049: Summer temperatures are intolerably high, the fossil fuel industry has shut down, and humans are implanted with a 'Flick' at birth, which allows them to remain perpetually online. The top echelons of society live in Floating Cities off the coast, while people on the mainland struggle to survive. For Rose, working as a hostess in the city's elite club feels like her best hope for a better future. When a high-profile client offers Rose a job as an escort at an American building project in northern Canada called Camp Zero, in return for a home for her displaced mother and herself, she accepts it. But her real assignment is to secretly monitor the mercurial architect in charge.
