"When Earth became overpopulated and overpolluted, Newton was created -- a city floating in space and trading between planets. As Newton's creator, Zac, struggles to write his first sci-fi novelwhile keeping a grip on his own mundane but increasingly chaotic life, his fictional Utopia is threatened by the greed and politics that spoiled Earth. it's fate lies in Zac's hands. This is a very funny dual narrative between Zac's life, and his work of fiction."
