Half-Built Garden (2022)

Aliens arrive intending to rescue humanity from its damaged planet, while the watershed networks rebuilding life on Earth have good reasons to stay. Emrys turns first contact into a negotiation among people who disagree about what care requires. Children, families and ecological work belong inside the diplomacy. Start here for a future with functioning alternatives to corporate power, and for the difficult task of explaining a hopeful project to someone convinced it must fail.
