From the award winning future-thinker comes a Solar Punk novel packed
with near-future ideas from the streets of Rome, with elements of
David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas and Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
The pulldogs, a group of people at the twilight of Western civilisation,
undergo an anthropological transformation caused by the dissemination of
nanites (nanorobots capable of assembling molecules to create matter).
This technology changes the way they eat and gives rise to a culture
which, while reminiscent of an ancient nomadic society, is creative and
new. Liberation from the imperative of food, combined with the ability
to 3D print objects and use cloud computing, makes it possible for the
pulldogs to make a choice that seems impossible and anachronistic - a
new life, but is it really an Arcadia?
