About This Book

An aging man elects to stay alone on an increasingly hot, depopulated Earth while a younger colonial officer and a small crew prepare to depart for the stars. The officer persistently urges him to leave on pragmatic and moral grounds, prompting the man to examine his motives, memories of lost loved ones, and whether his decision is sentiment or stubbornness. He envisions nature reclaiming cities and the planet slowly reverting as humanity withdraws, and the story becomes a quiet, bittersweet meditation on solitude, attachment, and the tension between personal longing and collective practicality.
