One of the seminal works of science fiction that addresses climate change as a central theme. In a future where rising temperatures have caused seas and lagoons to cover most of the Earth, humanity struggles to survive in a tropical environment reminiscent of the Triassic period. Survivors live on the upper floors of submerged skyscrapers, facing a hostile nature and the disintegration of civilization. The story follows Kerans as he navigates this flooded world, dealing not only with external dangers but also with the complexities of human psychology. Through a narrative rich in striking imagery, J.G. Ballard explores how common misfortune fails to eradicate rivalries and selfishness, offering a profound reflection on the human condition in the face of environmental collapse.
