About this audiobook
A hundred and eighty-four years after the waters rose, North America is a scatter of islands. Ozarka keeps its fourteen provinces, its great dams, its schoolroom maps, and a phrase every child learns: the new real is unreal. Then comes the evening the nation is told everything at once.
THE WORLD AFTER: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION gathers ten books of Ozarka and the water, set in order by the archivist who counted them. An anonymous survey of the visible world. The official History, annotated in a retired colonel’s pencil. The log of the colonel’s machine, following one family from a drowning girl to a grave on Mammoth. The maps seven boys and a dog made across fifteen autumns on the reserve islands. A census of every floating city, and of the mer, written by the mer themselves.
Here are the Great Rocky Isles, the Barrens, the poisoned seas, and what lies underneath the world. Gemini Cool builds a drowned continent with the patience of an atlas and the hush of a bedtime story.
