Many people joining the scientific brain drain from Britain are disappearing off the face of the Earth. The super-powers are co-operating in space on a plan to preserve a tiny nucleus of human survivors. It's part of a conspiracy so monstrous that the human mind can scarcely grasp its enormity.

England, 1970'erne
En metahistorie fra sluthalvfjerdserne og den kolde krig.
Den oprindelige historie er et dokumentarprogram om "The Brain Drain" fra England, hvor journalisterne så opdager at de bortrejste forskere og teknikere faktisk er forsvundet helt. Da de efterforsker det, støder de på vendingen "Alternative 3", som går ud på at etablere en levedygtig koloni udenfor Jorden, som er dømt til undergang i co2 og drivhuseffekt i stil med Venus. Alternative 1 er at stoppe med at bruge fossile brændsler, Alternative 2 er teknisk fix i stil med at bruge atombomber til at sprænge hul i atmosfæren og slippe co2 ud den vej, Alternative 3 er at lave en rumkoloni - i første omgang på månen.
Dette plot blev til en tv-miniserie. TV-programmet var fup i stil med "Klodernes kamp".

Senere har man så malket ideen ved at lave denne bog over det.
Ikke rigtig læsbar på denne afstand i tid. ( )

Der Inhalt des Buches wirkt irgendwie in die Länge gezogen, um das Buch mit wenig vorhandenen Informationen vollzumachen. Zum Teil gibt es Rechtsschreibfehler im Buch. Die Schriftgröße ist auch überdurschnittlich groß. Um einen kurzen Überblick über Alternatie 3 zu erhalten jedoch angemessen. ( )
