Fizz – Nothing is as it seems
A YOUNG WOMAN’S QUEST TO UNRAVEL THE UNIVERSE!
The future. In response to
environmental degradation, the Eco-community sect eschews science and technology, returning
to an austere agricultural life of nature-worship. But one young member, Fizz, struggles to
reconcile these doctrines with her own burning curiosity. Risking life and social standing, Fizz
embarks on a quest that brings her face-to-face with the often-eccentric giants of physics, from
Aristotle and Galileo to Einstein and Hawking. One encounter at a time, Fizz pieces together the
intricate workings of our universe, while struggling with the resulting intellectual, moral, and
personal challenges. Returning as a changed person from her epic quest, Fizz faces the decision
that will change her world forever. In the genre of the highly successful Sophie’s World,
Fizz
weaves the bizarre and inspiring history of physics into the touching, dramatic, personal story of a
young woman named Fizz who comes of age while voyaging across the centuries.
