Silent Jenny

In the near future, climate change ravages the planet and the disappearance of insects has ended pollination, leaving vast stretches of land barren. Survival now depends on mobile islands called monads, each community with its own customs and way of life.

Jenny, a solitary researcher, hopes to restore the old world by recovering bee DNA to clone new pollinators — until she realizes the past cannot be rebuilt, and a new world must be created through collaboration between the monad tribes. Crafted in meticulous detail by award-winning creator Mathieu Bablet, Silent Jenny is at heart a world-building book, an optimistic story that trades eco-anxiety for hope and innovation.
