Beyond climate tipping points there is the time of the failing. harry sinclair, aging ex-ceo of clearwater corporation, travels the fringes of an ever-expanding australian desert. perched on a dray pulled by his only companion, a fractious camel, harry is haunted by his past as a water prospector who, in the search for water, drove the beleaguered inhabitants of the west from their lands. a gentle and hauntingly beautiful cli-fi road-trip, thirst meanders through an outback broken by unending drought. interwoven through a vast australian landscape, thirst explores the future challenges caused by our present inaction on climate change and our over-exploitation of natural resources and, at its conclusion, reveals a glimmer of hope at the chaotic end of the 21st century.
