By 2021, Earth's nations are at peace, and even the poorer nations are beginning to enjoy stable political and economic regimes. The invention of a super-strong material is partially responsible for this, which enables Earth to, at last, initiate a burgeoning space industry. However, events unfold which result in the first "Macrolife" colony leaving the solar system for the nearer stars.
A millennium later, these mobile communities have left our sunspace and multiplied. Conflicts with natural planets arise and a tense confrontation of three civilisations takes place.
Time passes. One hundred billion years later, macrolife, now as numerous as the stars, faces the impending death of nature - and humanity struggles to survive beyond the collapse of the universe!
Inspired by the possibilities of space settlements, projections of biology, cosmology, and basic human longings, "Macrolife" is a visionary speculation on the long-term future of human and natural history, filled with haunting images and memorable characters.
