Utgivarens beskrivning
Berkeley, 1973. In a cramped university department powered by one of the world's earliest supercomputers, four young researchers make a startling discovery: if population and industrial growth continue unchecked, modern civilization could collapse within a century.
The finding sends them down very different paths. Idealistic couple Mildred and Eugene Dundee dedicate themselves to sounding the alarm. Ambitious economist Paul Quérillot turns crisis into opportunity. And Johannes Gudsonn—the team's brilliant, enigmatic mathematician—disappears.
Fifty years later, as climate disaster and political instability reshape the world they once tried to save, a journalist follows Gudsonn's trail to a remote Norwegian fjord, searching for answers about the prediction that changed so many lives.
Inspired by the true story behind the landmark 1972 report The Limits to Growth, Abel Quentin's Cabin is an intellectual thriller, a sharp satire of modernity, and a moving portrait of a generation that foresaw catastrophe—and failed to prevent it.
