The story is set in 2360 and concerns an astronaut on a flight to Mars that was hit by asteroids who crash lands on Earth three hundred years into her future in a apparently eutopian Greenland, which now lives up to its name. The story concerns a conflict over what to do with her. One side is afraid she might carry disease and that her knowledge of the old technology might lead to the problems that had led to the collapse of Earth’s environment, which is in recovery.
