Dalla quarta di copertina:
Linda is desperate to be one of the lucky eight chosen to take part in the world's most ambitious ecological experiment.
Gazing longingly at Ecosphere II, which rises like a spaceship from the Arizona desert, Linda knows she can survive under its glass dome.
Competition is fierce between the hopefuls, among them smooth-talking PR man Ramsay, and Dawn, a naïve beauty.
All are certain that they would never, ever, break closure before two years are up - unlike their discredited predecessors.
Inspired by real-life events, The Terranauts is a darkly comic, acutely insightful story of human behaviour, animal instincts, idealism and ambition.
