ICinema futhi izincwadi zokuhlolwa komphakathi kufanele ngabe sebenalo uhlobo lwabo, Ukusuka embukisweni weTruman kuya kudome lwe- Stephen King, izindaba eziningi zanda zisitshela umbono phakathi kwe-utopian ne-dystopian, njengokubheja ukuthola lapho intando yomuntu iphendukela ekuhlolweni kweqembu.
Ngalesi sikhathi kufinyelela ku- TC Boyle ohamba njengenhlanzi emanzini kulobu buso babalingiswa bakhe aye kulabo abangenakunqobeka ngokuphendula komuntu kokungaziwa.
Abasanda kufika ehlane lase-Arizona ngo-1994, "iLos Terranautas", iqembu lososayensi abayisishiyagalombili (abesilisa abane nabesifazane abane), abavolontiya, ohlakeni lombukiso weqiniso ophumelelayo osakazwa ezingeni lamaplanethi, ukuzivalela ngaphansi kwedome i-crystal ebizwa nge "Ecosphere 2", ehlose ukuba yisibonelo sendawo engenzeka ngaphandle komhlaba, futhi efuna ukukhombisa ukuthi bangahlala bodwa bodwa ezweni lonke izinyanga futhi bakwazi ukuzimela.
Idome ngumsebenzi kaJeremiah Reed, umbono wezemvelo owaziwa ngokuthi "DC" - "uNkulunkulu uMdali" - kepha kungekudala umbuzo uqala ukuphakama wokuthi ngabe kutholakele ukutholakala kwesayensi okuthokozisayo noma ngabe kuyindlela elula yokwazisa umphakathi ngaphansi kwesibhengezo. Ososayensi bazobhekwa ngabanye abacwaningi, i-Control Mission, abazoqapha ukunyakaza kwabo kusuka kule "Edeni entsha" njengoba bebhekene nochungechunge lwezinhlekelele ezisongela impilo ezingadala inhlekelele enkulu.
I-TC Boyle iyasimangaza futhi ngenoveli egcwele ukuhlekisa ngesayensi, ezenhlalo, ezocansi futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukusinda.
Manje usungathenga inoveli "iTerranautas", inoveli ka-TC Boyle, lapha:
