In a future world, where every road and building harnesses nanotechnology to produce clean fuel, food, and fertilizer from water, sun, and air, agent Jean Moulin delves into the enigmatic links between a murdered woman in Hampstead and assassination attempts on the President of the Whole Earth Council. His investigation takes him back to the origins of the Global Synthetic Photosynthesis Project in Namibia, as well as the forces that aim to destroy it and its visionary eco-gendered founder.

Split by Sun is a captivating and poetic novel that delves into the question of whether humanity is destined to deploy a solar energy technology to advance enforceable rights of ecosystems, electronic citizen voting on laws, the marriage of corporations to public goods, community-scale industry, the abolition of war and nuclear weapons, the facilitation of universal basic income, healthcare, and education, and the replacement of religion with widespread experience of unitive consciousness.

Through the eyes of Jean Moulin, the reader witnesses a world transformed by the power of solar energy. Roads and buildings are self-sustaining, producing clean energy without the need for fossil fuels. Food and fertilizer are grown using nanotechnology, utilizing only water, sun, and air. The impact on the environment is profound, as pollution and greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to zero.

The Global Synthetic Photosynthesis Project, led by the visionary eco-gendered founder, aims to address the global challenges of climate change, food insecurity, and resource depletion. The technology utilizes solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into sustainable fuels, food, and fertilizer. It has the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work, providing a solution to some of the most pressing issues facing our planet.

However, the project faces opposition from various quarters. Some believe that it is a threat to the natural world, as it could lead to the domination of corporations and the erosion of human rights. Others argue that it is too expensive and technologically complex to be implemented on a global scale.

As Jean Moulin investigates the murder and assassination attempts, he uncovers a web of conspiracy and intrigue that threatens the very existence of the Global Synthetic Photosynthesis Project. He discovers that the project is being manipulated by powerful forces who are willing to do anything to protect their interests and maintain the status quo.

Jean Moulin's journey takes him through a world of political power, corporate greed, and environmental degradation. He encounters a diverse range of characters, from scientists and activists to politicians and businessmen, each with their own agenda and motivations. Through his interactions, Jean Moulin learns about the complexities of the world and the challenges facing humanity.

Split by Sun is a thought-provoking and inspiring novel that offers a vision of a future where humanity harnesses the power of solar energy to create a sustainable and equitable world. It challenges us to think beyond our own interests and to work towards a common goal of creating a better future for all. Whether or not we are able to achieve this vision, the novel reminds us of the importance of perseverance, resilience, and the power of innovation in the face of adversity.
