Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Welcome to Tvibura and Tviburi. These two planets - one inhabited, one not - exist in extreme proximity to one another. As the narrative begins, Tvibura, the inhabited planet, faces a grave and imminent threat: the food supply is dwindling, and the conditions necessary for sustaining life are growing more and more erratic. Faced with the prospect of eventual catastrophe, the remarkable women of Tvibura launch a pair of ambitious, long-term initiatives. The first involves an attempt to reanimate the planets increasingly dormant ecosphere. The second concerns the building of a literal bridge between worlds that will connect Tvibura to its (hopefully) habitable sibling. "--Publisher's description.
As the conditions necessary to sustain life on Tvíbura grow erratic, the populace attempts two monumental undertakings that will span generations: rejuvenating the ecosphere and building a literal bridge to Tvíbura's uninhabited twin planet, Tvíburi.
