From the back cover:
"2035 - Richard Somers, ex-rock star, tucked away safely in an enclave for the very rich and the very powerful, is bored. Every luxury wealth can buy and an affair with the wife of a senior civil servant are not enough. But back into his life comes his sister Hannah-Rosa and her troupe of travelling dancers - and with her a disk containing their father's unpublished scenario describing man's - or rather woman's - origins in a Garden of Eden on the shores of an African lake.
'Trajectories' is an apocalyptic vision, a user's guide to the twenty-first century; it contrasts the idyll that was the origin of our species with its final decades in a polluted, doomed environment, the pampered, secure life of the haves with the squalor and the civil strife of the majority. It confirms his reputation as a major writer for our times."

Picked up cheaply, especially for BookCrossing purposes.

Picked this up at York bookcrossing. Started to read it but lost interest. the world created was a bit depressing and the plot wasn't exciting enough to motivate me to continue reading.

Collected at December meetup for no particular reason. Weird-ass scifi. Hooray.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
That was bizarre. After an environmental disaster, the population is only a fraction of what it was and governments are doing mass ethnic cleansing - against the backdrop of an unpublished book about aquatic ape theory popular in the 90s but disproved.
Since this has been kicking around for a while now, in order to free up some space on the Brigantes OBCZ Bookshelf, I thought I'd move it on to the Ye Olde Starre Inne OBCZ Bookshelf - where hopefully it'll find a new reader...
