2. The End Of The Ocean
Interweaving multiple perspectives and timelines, the novel imagines a near future shaped by environmental collapse, where depleted seas, plastic pollution and climate-driven displacement force characters to confront loss, responsibility and the hard choices of survival. Through intimate portraits of families, researchers and migrants, it probes humanity’s fraught relationship with nature, the moral consequences of inaction, and the fragile forms of care and resilience people muster when water and hope grow scarce.
