Children of Tomorrow by J.R. BURGMANN

Children of Tomorrow depicts an all-too-real future history, rushing on
at an unstoppable speed and fracturing the lives of its many characters,
the effects of which ripple throughout subsequent generations and the
earth they inherit.
Children of Tomorrow is an episodic saga, a sweeping history of family
and friendship, spanning multiple generations and geographies across
the twenty-first century. Beginning in 2016, Arne Bakke witnesses
the historic devastation of that summer’s bushfires across the ancient
wilderness of Tasmania. Elsewhere, Londoner Evie Weatherall witnesses
extreme climate events in her travels. They each see a dangerous future
forming. When their paths collide in Melbourne, Australia, where they
are pursuing PhDs, they and their group of close friends are set on
course to witness and struggle together against the coming century,
an age of great individual and planetary loss.
Originally published in Australia in the spring of 2023, Enfield &
Wizenty is thrilled to introduce this timely novel to a wider audience.
“With echoes of Kim Stanley Robinson, James Bradley and Richard Powers,
JR Burgmann provides a lyrical catalogue of the terrifying crises to come.
If you’re waiting for a hero to save us, Children of Tomorrow is a timely
reminder that climate change is caused by a complex network of people,
and that collective action and diverse approaches are our only way out of
this.”—Jane Rawson, From The Wreck
