The story is set in Singapore after the water came and most Singaporeans now live underground in inverted skyscrapers with \“the elite few . . . who can afford homes within the last remaining gated communities aboveground\” (18). The protagonist\’s family was among the last to move into the underground bunkers, as she calls them, where status is reflected in how close to the surface you lived. Life is tightly controlled with high unemployment and passes checked on exiting and entering. The authors of the stories were each \“assigned a specific climate event mentioned\” in the 2018 UN climate report collaborating with experts recommended by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) who \“provide a scientific backbone\” for the stories while giving the writers free rein to determine how closely they adhered to that science\” (6-7). The Introduction to the volume (7-12) is by Susan Casey-Lefkowitz, Chief Program Officer of the NDRC.
