The Highest Frontier

Both eutopian and dystopian themes. The novel is set on an Earth and at a college established in orbit around Earth. Earth has undergone massive environmental changes, mostly negative, and equally massive technological changes, mostly presented positively, that people have adjusted to. The protagonist is a young woman from an important political family during her first year at the college. A story set in the same future and clearly from a forthcoming sequel is “Landfall.
