Simultaneously a deep-future survival epic, a gripping transatlantic quest, and a love story that stretches across millennia, THE AFTERLIFE PROJECT tells the story of the Centauri Project—a group of remarkable scientists committed to ensuring the survival of humanity. Lyrically written and deeply researched, W**d’s sci-fi debut is reminiscent of the works of Emily St. John Mandel, Andy Weir, Peter Heller, and Cormac McCarthy.
In a world already suffering the effects of climate change, THE AFTERLIFE PROJECT is a profound and timely meditation on the persistence of nature, with or without humanity, and what it means to cast into the far future in search of solutions.
