Draft Story Synopsis

 

New Earth Rising is an "anticipatory documentary" set early in the "third millennium C.E." – year 2010. The subject is an open-ended movable workshop, billed as "a Nomadic Tour of Post-Civilized Earth for a Self-Selected Group of Explorers and Cultural Pioneers," during the time the decaying remnants of "civilization" persist, even while "post-civilization" struggles to rise in its midst, and on its periphery.
