The battle for the future has only just begun.
Topical, critical and extremely exciting. A climate fiction thriller about the future of climate activism. Author Johanna Stromann wants to write a novel about climate activists. But the research proves to be dangerous, as the state tries to suppress the protests with violence.
Soon it is no longer possible for Johanna to remain neutral on the sidelines and simply document the events. On the contrary: it doesn’t go far enough for her. When the majority of climate groups are banned and their members sentenced to prison, she and the remaining activists found the group ‘Parts Per Million’ to bring the perpetrators of the climate catastrophe to justice. By any means necessary.
