Most of the main characters-Mutt and Jeff, immigration attorney Charlotte, Gen the Inspector, Building Superintendent Vlade, and “cloud” personality Amelia Black who hosts a popular program called Assisted Migration-live in a co-op habitation in the Met Tower building. New York, where the story is set primarily, is now mostly submerged. The Pulses accompanied the melting of the majority of the ice caps, which then caused sea level to rise by hundreds of feet. The Citizen does not interact with the story but provides historical context and omniscient narration that helps the reader understand financial, climatological, and capitalist history in the aftermath of the events known as the First and Second Pulses. One character is anonymous, known to the reader only as The Citizen. The novel unfolds in eight parts, consisting of chapters narrated by each of the major characters (although there are two pairs of characters who always appear together: Stefan and Robert, and Mutt and Jeff).
