Gaiome
('gī•ōm) n. an artificial world that uses sunlight and natural ecology to sustain itself in space.
What will it really take to live beyond Earth? In Gaiome, a provocative new book by Kevin Scott Polk, you will discover:
- Why space is not a frontier at all (and what it may be instead).
- What Biosphere 2, Ladakh and Cuba can teach us about world building.
- How our cosmic future depends on your lifestyle choices today.
“A tremendous achievement. You have carved out a new universe
of discourse to match your new word. Very rare and wonderful.”
—Ann Kreilkamp, Ph.D.
“Mix environmentalist and permaculture enthusiasm with space colony enthusiasm, and you get Polk's very well researched program. This is the high frontier of high-tech Green.”
—Stewart Brand, Creator of The Whole Earth Catalog.
