The world in 2052 is a mess, with climate change, natural disasters, nationalist paramilitaries, and multinational corporations as the only real power-brokers. Aurora, a middle-aged sociologist, focuses on her students and her children but is angry at how small her life has become. Then one day, a strange woman walks into her life and Aurora has a target on her back and the fate of the world in her hands. She must unlock the mysteries locked inside the head of this enigmatic woman to save the planet.

The world is in disarray. The climate change catastrophe has set off a never-ending cycle of natural disasters. Nationalist paramilitaries clash with religious extremists. Multinational corporations, backed by their own security forces, have replaced global institutions as the ultimate power brokers. Pandemics have closed borders with such frequency that travel has become predominantly virtual. Aurora, a middle-aged sociologist, tries to avoid dwelling on how the world has descended into such chaos and danger. At university, she focuses on her students. At home, it's her children. She devotes her spare time to writing poetry. She leads a relatively comfortable life, but she's not particularly happy. And she's angry at how small her life has become.
Then, one day, a strange woman walks into Aurora's life, and suddenly, the world's chaos becomes personal. Suddenly, the obscure professor has a target on her back, and the fate of the world rests in her hands. Her salvation, and that of the planet as well, lies in the mysteries locked inside the head of this enigmatic woman who has appeared on her doorstep. Unlocking those mysteries will take Aurora on a virtual journey around the fragmented globe and up against the world's most powerful corporation.
Songlands, the standalone finale to the Splinterlands trilogy, depicts humanity's last attempt to solve the world's problems. Can Aurora assemble a team to reverse the splintering of the international community and avert an even more dystopian future?
