What to expect

Its 2089. The climate collapse is a fact. The situation on Earth is acute, and Sweden is one of the last stable countries in the world. No one dares to hope that the country will last long. The young journalist Sameer Peshwara blames the climate catastrophe on the rich, so when American billionaire Jessica Stein wants to hire him to write a book about her space project, he cannot believe it. Why does she want one of her most avid critics to write a book about her plan: to build a spaceship for the purpose of colonizing another planet? Sameer detests Stein Systems, but is tempted to abandon his principles and take the job that can save him and his family. At the same time, he knows that he should aim higher than that. Is it too late to try to save humanity? And does humanity even deserve to be saved?
