The Kanshou

It is 2087 on Little Blue. Global population has dropped to a mere six billion people. Women, who outnumber men by a ratio of 12-to-1, are in absolute control of the affairs of the planet. Humans are Little Blue’s only animal life form because, on a single day in 2021, called “Empty Monday,” all non-human animals have mysteriously died. All subsequent attempts to clone stored animal DNA have failed. Women who are lovers or who have been lovers, can fly together without the aid of wings or motors.
