About this item

Welcome to Tvbura and Tvburi, the richly imagined twin planets that stand at the center of Greg Egan's extraordinary new novella, Phoresis.These two planets ... one inhabited, one not ... exist in extreme proximity to one another. As the narrative begins, Tvbura, the inhabited planet, faces a grave and imminent threat: the food supply is dwindling, and the conditions necessary for sustaining life are growing more and more erratic. Faced with the prospect of eventual catastrophe, the remarkable women of Tvbura launch a pair of ambitious, long-term initiatives. The first involves an attempt to reanimate the planet's increasingly dormant ecosphere. The second concerns the building of a literal "bridge between worlds" that will connect Tvbura to its (hopefully) habitable sibling.
