How the Planet Lost Its Tail

by Jeff D. McMorine

How the Planet Lost Its Tail is a piece of allegorical fiction touching on the connections between humanity’s most casual consumption habits (the wipe of a paper napkin, for instance) and extreme planetary situations such as modern warfare and global environmental destruction. The author, Jeff D. McMorine, takes these essential—however dark and tedious—subjects and frames them in a colorful, hopeful world rife with love, humor, and adventure.
