From Little Stack
In 2312, it’s not just one planet that gets terraformed and colonized. It’s the entire solar system. Asteroids are hollowed out and turned into mobile “terraria” habitats. Moons are partially terraformed. Even planets are engineered to support idealized cityscapes. Everywhere you look, the solar system has become a patchwork of human-made ecosystems. What could possibly go wrong with that, right?
The story starts with a death and pulls back the curtain to reveal sabotage and political instability on a massive scale. It’s a fascinating—and sobering—look at what happens when colonization and terraforming meet the excesses of human nature.
The year is 2312. Scientific and technological advances have opened gateways to an extraordinary future. Earth is no longer humanity's only home; new habitats have been created throughout the solar system on moons, planets, and in between. But in this year, 2312, a sequence of events will force humanity to confront its past, its present, and its future.
The first event takes place on Mercury, on the city of Terminator, itself a miracle of engineering on an unprecedented scale. It is an unexpected death, but one that might have been foreseen. For Swan Er Hong, it is an event that will change her life. Swan was once a woman who designed worlds. Now she will be led into a plot to destroy them.
