About this ebook

A novel about genius, abuse, love, murder and survival of planet earth.

The United Nations declared the 1st of February 2118 as Earth Recovery Day, when planet Earth finally started to cool. The major driving force? A drop in the world's population from 9bn to 5bn.

As early as the 2040s, one man had foreseen the potential of population change to reverse global warming and for decades he persuaded governments around the world that low fertility rates would lead to planetary salvation without destroying economic growth.

This is the story of that man, Solomon Isarebe, written 100 years after the publication of his most famous work, Future Perfect (2050). It examines his prophecies, where they came true and where they were wrong and the remarkable influence he had on world events. It also looks at his turbulent, tragic and compelling life story in the context of the cultural revolutions, political power shifts and global wars of the late 21st century.

This meticulously researched and illustrated book shows us there is scope for optimism regarding the survival of the planet and all because of the decisions ordinary men and women around the world will make about family size.

Published by Coil Press Ltd, established to creatively explore potential world futures, through collaboration with artists, scientists, economists, sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, statisticians and misfits.
