Sobre IBD

It is 2500. In Eurafrica, every child gets the same optimal start in life. Shira, a researcher and weaver who lives in the hyper-dense city of New Jozi, investigates old birthing traditions and is conducting an unorthodox experiment. On the other side of the planet, midwife Lucot struggles to access technology appropriate for the less evolved American context. They collaborate with shared curiosity and compassion in this story that explores the balance between useful social norms and individual freedom. How will Shira’s experiment turn out? Will Lucot get what he needs?
