It'sOur Global Warming Adventure.A heroic techno-shamanistic near-future satire.Doom, gloom, and evidence-driven tomfoolery fuel a near-future satirical hero's tale. Written by a physics Ph.D. and former NASA scientist, with a style inspired by Douglas Adams and Neal Stephenson.The story of a couple and their cat, making their way through a world turned upside-down, a phantasmagoric tour through America as it almost is, and, through that darkness, a glimpse of a radical, sustainable future...Snappy, and smart.The main character, an overly educated and literary dishwasher at a NASA facility, wallows in the contradictions between evidence-based cosmic cynicism and psychotropic shamanism, not achieving much, until disaster arrives, and forces him out of his weird science comfort zone; by the end, he has fused these two threads, stepped out of his isolation, and chosen his fate.Author's bio: Aaron Wolf Baum received a B.A. in physics from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. in applied physics is from Stanford University. Aaron has worked for NASA on algal remediation projects, helped over 1000 people start their own algae farms worldwide, started two algae companies, AlgaeLab.com and GreenSpring Farms, and wrote the book, "Grow Your Own Spirulina Superfood: A Simple How-To Guide".
