Six astronauts circle the Earth aboard the International Space Station. Every ninety minutes the planet passes beneath them: oceans, deserts, storms, cities glowing at night.

Written as a kind of space pastoral, the novel is less about plot than perspective: what happens to human consciousness when the entire planet becomes a distant, rotating landscape beneath your feet.

As the station loops the globe sixteen times, the crew move through the small rituals of life in space — eating, sleeping, exercising, maintaining the machinery that keeps them alive — while their thoughts drift constantly back to the world below. 

A slim, meditative book that turns outer space into a vantage point for thinking about intimacy, ecology, and the shared precariousness of life on Earth.
