What this book is about
On the night of October 31, the stars disappear from Earth's sky. A membrane has been placed around the planet, slowing Earth's time so that a year on Earth is a million years in the universe. Wilson's Hugo Award winner is intimate despite its cosmic scope — following three friends across decades as humanity adapts to its new existential situation.
