America Pacifica

First edition, 2011
America Pacifica (2011) is Anna North's debut novel, set on a Pacific island that became the last refuge of the American population after a second ice age froze the mainland. Years after the evacuation, the island has developed into a rigidly stratified society where a ruling class lives in relative comfort while the underclass survives on synthetic food called Seafiber and jellyfish, crowded into deteriorating apartment blocks. Darcy, a young woman whose mother has disappeared, follows the trail of her disappearance into the island's corrupt upper strata, uncovering the myths the society has constructed around its own founding.
