Invisible Ecologies

by Rachel Armstrong

Set in a near-future Venice, Invisible Ecologies tells the story of Po, an ambiguously gendered boy born into a community of ocean gypsies who shares an intimate connection with a nascent sentience emerging within the Po delta: the bioregion upon which the city of Venice is founded. The intrepid pair embark on a series of extraordinary adventures and, as Po starts school, stumble upon the Mayor’s drastic plans to modernise the city and reshape the future of the lagoon and its people.
