Science Fiction
Description: On a future Earth of environmental devastation and
political instability, rapidly mutating viruses have caused billions of
deaths, and the future of the human race is in jeopardy. When a select
group of pragmatists take residence in an orbiting habitat, the occupants
begin to see visions of the unfortunates they left behind, and some fear
that the environmental deprivation has bridged the gap between reality
and hallucination.
