Work In Progress:
An international consulting firm attempts to upload entire ecosystems to the metaverse. A young man returns to his home island after a decade only to find it unrecognizable due to severe coastal erosion. A renowned archaeologist excavates the resting grounds of a former chief in the hopes of finding evidence of an original settlement before the site is washed away. A complex legal battle embroils the local council of elders who disagree about the ownership of artificially constructed land. A mother decides how to raise her adopted infant in a new country without the cultural safeguards of home.
This nonfiction work weaves an overlapping tangle of narratives that compete to tell the truth about the state of a nation. It is an exploration of how differing worldviews drastically alter the ways in which their proponents make sense of the future.
