Final Earth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798182787192)

A billion years from now, Earth is dying.

The Sun has grown brighter, temperatures have climbed to lethal extremes, and the planet that gave birth to humanity is approaching the end of its ability to sustain life. Civilization has survived on a scale once unimaginable, but survival now demands something greater than adaptation. Humanity must dismantle the world itself.

Across a transformed Earth, billions of workers race to recover the calcium and other essential elements needed to build humanity's future beyond its home planet. Every remaining resource matters. Every delay costs them something they can never replace: time.

At the center of this final migration is a civilization attempting something unprecedented-preserving humanity while leaving Earth behind. Amid enormous engineering projects, political pressure, extreme weather, earthquakes, volcanic upheaval, and a planet becoming increasingly hostile, the future of the species depends on completing the extraction before nature closes the window forever.

Yet the story of humanity's survival is also intensely personal. As one woman carries eight children-the next generation being born at the edge of an old world-the struggle for the future becomes more than a question of numbers, resources, and technology. It becomes a question of what humanity is trying to save.

Final Earth is a sweeping far-future science-fiction novel about survival, love, human ambition, and the extraordinary lengths civilization will go to ensure that Earth's final generation is not humanity's last.
