BY THE WINNER OF THE JONATHAN SWIFT PRIZE 2017LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 2018Eight people take part in an ecological experiment in 1990s Arizona. Inspired by real events, The Terranauts places human behaviour under the microscope to spellbinding effectLinda is desperate to be one of the lucky eight chosen to take part in the worlds most ambitious ecological experiment. She knows that she can survive for two years under the glass dome of Ecosphere II, set in the Arizona desert. Competition is fierce between the hopefuls, among them smoothtalking PR man Ramsay, and Dawn, a nave beauty.

As they struggle to control nature, and hunger sets in, the snake in this Eden starts to look unmistakably human
