Mad Planet
'Mad Planet' Summary
Thousands of years after a catastrophic climate change, Earth has transformed into a 'Mad Planet'. The remnants of humanity, stripped of their advanced technology and knowledge, live in scattered tribes. Burl, a young hunter, ventures beyond the familiar territory of his tribe in pursuit of a rare food source. He seeks to impress Saya, a woman who intrigues him, and his journey becomes an exploration of survival in a radically changed world. The planet's altered environment is teeming with new life forms, including insects and fungi that have adapted to the new conditions. As Burl encounters these strange creatures and relics of a lost civilization, he is forced to confront not only the challenges of the present but also the potential for a new future. The story reveals the struggles of a primitive society rebuilding in the wake of unimaginable devastation, with elements of romance, adventure, and a glimpse of hope emerging from the ashes of a fallen world.Book Details
