First Tree
As humanity recovers from the Almost Never, a devastating period of climate change, technological overreach, greed, and violence, Blue finds herself on a distant continent, with the chance to escape the shadow of her past among new friends.
But as the team works to establish a Community in the unfamiliar wilderness, there are signs that some of her friends might not be the people she originally thought they were. Lies and secrets begin to unravel just as the AI, charged with keeping the human economy operating smoothly, starts behaving in unexpected and concerning ways.
Plagued by doubts about the New Way, the prevailing human philosophy that has guided her life until now, Blue must contend with hard questions about the complexities of human nature, friendship, and leadership.
