Description
An
advanced alien race that had visited Earth earlier in the planet’s history
arrive for their second visit in 1942. They see the environmental
destruction that is taking place at the hands of humankind. To ensure the
survival of this beautiful planet the aliens implant a seed within a human newborn.
This seed will give rise to a robot of incredible power when the atmospheric
carbon dioxide level reaches 400 parts per million. Early in the 21st
Century the carbon dioxide concentration achieves the target level and the
robot emerges. This entity is programmed to reset Earth’s environmental
“clock” by any and all means at its disposal. All hell breaks loose
with seminal changes in humankind, in plants and animals, and in the
environment.
