Summary

In the near future, humanity hasn't avoided the worst of climate change: wildfires, rising oceans, mass migration, and skyrocketing inequality have become the daily reality. Just when it seems that it can't get any worse, a movement of workers, migrants, and refugees inspires the world to band together, save the planet, and rebuild a society for all. This is The Great Transition. Emi Vargas was born post-Transition, a utopia compared to the world known by previous generations. Her parents played pivotal roles in The Great Transition, but now their marriage is deteriorating. When Emi's mother goes missing amidst a shocking new political upheaval, Emi's illusion of comfort and safety is shattered.
