The angry and witty satirist Ben Elton placed his environmental apocalypse in the not too distant future, but the Earth has already been reduced to a deplorable state: ice remains only at the poles, the rain is only acidic, the ocean water is liquid mud, the sun burns until cancerous tumors form. People are trying to survive. There are light and air filters everywhere, special suits, special umbrellas, etc. are used. However, not everyone is afraid of the end of the world. For some, on the contrary, it is extremely profitable, especially those who produce and sell individual sealed biospheres called “Eden,” where you can live indefinitely after the “rats abandon ship.” A Hollywood superstar, an FBI agent and a beautiful young terrorist decide to save the planet from planned destruction. Show business, nightlife, murder, police investigations, planetary intrigues - the entire arsenal of modern blockbusters is put to use in this funny and exciting warning novel.
