“[T]his richly textured second novel explores issues of identity and loyalty, swapping quantum mechanics for complexity theory and mystery for suspense … Arkady, an entomologist assigned to a terraforming project … comes into possession of two pieces of information: one very valuable, the other very damaging … Through Arkady’s bewildered eyes, the reader discovers a future world where America is a rogue nation and the most precious commodities are water and the ability to bear children.”
