Three people from very different eras – a philosopher from the pre-Christian Mediterranean basin, an industrialist from the nineteenth century, and a politician from a post-climate-change future – are plucked from their lives by a pair of bickering gods with dubious intent. Deposited in a vast encyclopaedic garden and granted access to all human knowledge, they are tasked with an extraordinary challenge: to design a world that can endure.
But as their grand experiment unfolds, they begin to discover that knowledge alone may not be enough.
