About This Book

A literal-minded scientist resigns and declares a bold remedy for entrenched ideological conflict: physically separate humanity by splitting the planet so each side can govern itself. He unveils the proposal to an international assembly, provoking ridicule, incredulity, and political unease as leaders confront the literal consequences of his plan. Claiming to use gravitic field theory, he proceeds despite skepticism, while colleagues, officials, and observers attempt to monitor and contain the effort. The narrative traces the technical premise, the diplomatic fallout, and the mounting tension between scientific possibility and social responsibility.
