Everyone is curious about the future. It would be a nice place to visit – but would you want to live there?
In 2257 Keef is a television: a dishevelled, shamanic figure roaming a vast autumnal forest where big cats hunt, squirrels and monkeys teem in the canopy, and boar root in centuries of leaf litter.
In 1995 Kate Wallis is a junior research assistant at a leading pharmaceutical company's laboratory complex, and she has no idea that she will soon find herself living the plot of a science fiction soap opera. She is accidentally exposed to an experimental longevity virus that causes a 262-year coma. Kate wakes in Keef's world and they begin a love affair that has profound repercussions for his community.
...Be warned: the resourceful heroes of science fiction stories are mythological figures, and technology might as well be magic.
