From the author of the best-selling and award-winning travel memoir Falling Uphill comes a prophetic dystopian novel.
What if global warming isn’t the problem, but a symptom of something much worse?
The greatest mass extinctions in Earth’s history were caused by cataclysmic oxygen depletion. Now, it has begun again, this time due to humanity’s rampant industrialization – the burning of fossil fuels and the decimation of the ecosystems that produce oxygen. The oceans are already filled with giant dead zones, while cities and deserts overflow fertile lands.
Breathless takes you into a plausible near-future as humanity crosses the tipping point and the Earth’s atmosphere is destroyed in a global firestorm. A handful of survivors struggle to cooperate before the infrastructure fails, and question whether it is worth saving themselves, much less humanity.
If you like post-apocalyptic classics like On The Beach, Earth Abides and Alas Babylon, Breathless will keep you turning pages to learn the fate of humanity.
