Sobre IBD

For thirty-five years, New Mars has held. Beneath its great domes the rain falls at seven, the printed food is warm, and a generation has been born who has never seen Earth and does not miss it. Tomas Merrow keeps the atmosphere plant - the single closed loop the whole city breathes through - and one ordinary morning he notices a reading he cannot quite explain away.He is the only one who will. The plant is not broken; it is wearing out, quietly, exactly on schedule - and the thing failing in the air steals judgement first, so that a city of millions begins to suffocate so gently that most of them never understand what is being taken from them. The council has a soft grey word for it. The rich have already bought their time.Tomas has a wife, two daughters, and one question with no bearable answer: what do you do with the last of the air?
