Hibernation

The icebergs are melting. The animals are dying. The planet is buckling under the weight of our neglect, our greed. We dream of a sustainable future but could we dream ourselves into one? In Hibernation, one simple idea is turned into a global movement: what if we could somehow turn back the clock? What if everyone on earth went to sleep for a year and let nature take back control? This startling premise sets the stage for Finegan Kruckemeyer''s bold and brilliant adventure through an imagined future that feels barely a heartbeat away from the present. A globally sanctioned shutdown—in an idea conceived long before the pandemic—sees citizens of every nation fill their lungs with chemically altered air … and wait. What happens next is moving, terrifying and totally transformative. This epic and intimate portrayal of the personal impact of environmental crisis is at its core a story of lives lived, loved and squandered, of good acts and bad, and of redemption. We''ve made our beds. Now we must sleep in them.
