Sinopsis

We Are But a Moment takes the reader on a brisk touráof the globe that vividly imagines the inescapable crisis of the nearáfuture posed by overpopulation, diminishing natural resources,áclimate change, species extinction, and economic tumult.áIt is 2025, and a young White House aide, Aleks, finds himself locked up in quarantine when he tested positive after a routine briefing fromáa hotspot. Aleks recounts how our much-admired female presidentábecame a globally revered leader who unites much of the world under the environmental banner. AleksâÇÖs position as environmental advisoráto the presidentâÇÖs policy team gives him a privileged insiderâÇÖs viewáinto the political maneuvering that has led to U.S. global dominance.áWhen he discovers unfamiliar files on his computer, he is thrown intoáa moral crisis over who he trusts, what he believes, and the valueáof the causes for which he has been fighting as he grapples to make sense of the people and events that led to his quarantine.áPhilosophical rather than prescriptive, the book is about how we liveáand die in the 21st century, what we consume, how we inhabit our world, and whether we can all live and love in the future.
