About this ebook
My watering eyes begin to focus on the imposing concrete wedge in front of me; it bursts out of the snow, like an office building that had crash-landed into the side of a mountain. Three stories of concrete covered with a chandelier style glass roof. A dramatic design in an undramatic location. I start to wonder at the logistics of a building in such a remote and cold area.
My thoughts are interrupted by a dramatic speech being delivered by an overly enthusiastic man standing beside me.
“Before you is the future of our species, the last chance for the existence of life, the only hope for the continued evolution of this planet and all that it contains. A doomsday salvation, an apocalyptic refuge... You are about to enter the future birthplace of humanity... Are you ready”?
Trying to make the best impression I can on my first day at work, I turn towards him, give a stern and considered look and firmly reply “yes” while internally rolling my eyes and trying to hide my agitation at the delay in getting us out of the freezing wind.
Finally after a dramatic pause, the doors swing open and I am disappointed to see a very long, cold and very boring corrugated iron tunnel heading deep into the mountainside ....
Birthplace of the future of humanity? Really?
And with this anti-climactic start, my role in the story that will disprove theories, question common ideals and alter mankind’s thinking forever .... Has begun.
