Krátky popis
A satirical fable, a political allegory and an ecological warning
from the author of The Three-Body Problem. In a sunlit clearing in
central Gondwana, on an otherwise ordinary day in the late
Cretaceous, the seeds of Earth's first and greatest civilization
were sown in the grisly aftermath of a Tyrannosaurus' lunch.
Throughout the universe, intelligence is a rare and fragile
commodity - a fleeting glimmer in the long night of cosmic
history.That Earth should harbour not just one but two intelligent
species at the same time, defies the odds. That these species, so
unalike - and yet so complementary - should forge an alliance that
kindled a civilization defies logic. But time is endless and
everything comes to pass eventually...The alliance between ants and
dinosaurs, was of course, based on dentistry. Yet from such humble
beginnings came writing, mathematics, computers, fusion, antimatter
and even space travel - a veritable Age of Wonder! But such
magnificent industry comes at a price - a price paid first by
Earth's biosphere, and then by all those dependent on it. And yet
the Dinosaurs refused to heed the Ants' warning of impending
ecological collapse, leaving the Ant Federation facing a single
dilemma: destroy the dinosaurs, destroy a civilization...or perish
alongside them?
