'An ochre-coloured haze has gathered permanently over the town of Praiseworthy somewhere in the Gulf country. It is composed of dust, soot, broken butterfly wings, memories, and grief – and it isn’t going anywhere.

Most call this man Planet because he is always banging on about the collapse of the planet.' (Introduction)
