Over a century and a half ago, planetary scientists predicted an environmental crisis threatening to annihilate Koda's humanoid population so the SEEDER program was developed, launching deep-space missions to discover habitable worlds. When no livable planet was found, the SEEDER program was scrapped and the DOME project was initiated. The global economy became focused on placing domes over only the most prominent cities to insure a portion of the population's survival.

In this kaleidoscopic voyage through the past, present, and future of the United States, a young girl uncovers a secret society, a middle-aged man searches for his lost first love, a group of teens invent a role-playing game, protests threaten to topple the government, and an eccentric lawyer and his young Vietnamese protégée re-open a dormant case.

Heather hates the Complot - the government party that controls her country - but the Complot loves her. And every citizen in Canuckia. They love everyone so much they're throwing a special end-of-year celebration to honour their Winners; and weed out The Weak. Will Heather survive a Complot New Year? Will anyone? A flash fiction with two other tales.

Die Klimakatastrophe ist unvermeidlich. Wissen wir eigentlich. Die Hoffnung stirbt. Das nagt an der Resilienz. Gut, wenn man sich zumindest geistig schonmal auf den Wahnsinn vorbereiten kann. Mr Happy zeigt euch Echos der Apokalypse. Wir hören mit Kurzgeschichten in die Zukunft rein. Sexuelle Torschlusspanik vor dem jüngsten Gericht, letzte Plenarreden und letzte Gebete, Berichte vom Ewigen Krieg und einer Flucht aus der Rattenhauptstadt Paris uvm. Bittere Satire als Stressbewältigung. Wir lassen unsere Ignoranz fallen und blicken in unseren Abgrund.
