DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 22% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nA captivating and atmospheric story set in the far future
 —a literary dystopian tale resonant with love and hope.\n\nIn the coming c
 enturies the world's population has exploded. The earth is crowded with ci
 ties\, animals are nearly all extinct\, and drought is so widespread that 
 water is rationed. There are no maps\, no borders\, no numbered years\, an
 d no freedom\, except for an elite few.\n\nIt is a harsh world for an orph
 an like Nadia Stepan. Growing up\, she dreams of a green vacation spot cal
 led Lighthouse Island\, in a place called the Pacific Northwest.\nWhen an 
 opportunity for escape arises\, Nadia embarks on a dangerous and sometimes
  comic adventure. Along the way she meets a man who changes the course of 
 her life: James Orotov\, a mapmaker and demolition expert. Together\, they
  evade arrest and head north toward a place of wild beauty that lies beyon
 d the megapolis—Lighthouse Island.\n\nThe usual $3 meetup fee applies\, to
  help defray the yearly Meetup fee.
