Non-Fiction Memoir
Itβs a story that has never been told β¦ until now. Imagine being sealed into a closed environment for two years β cut off from the outside world with only seven other people β enduring never-ending hunger, severely low levels of oxygen, and extremely difficult relationships. Crew members struggled to survive in Biosphere 2, where they swore nothing would go in or out β no food or water, not even air β all in the name of science. For the first time, biospherian Jane Poynter β who lived and loved in the Biosphere β is ready to share what really happened in there. She takes readers on a riveting, fast-paced trip through shattered lives, scientific discovery, cults, love, fears of insanity, and inspiring human endurance. The eight biospherians who closed themselves into the Biosphere emerged 730 days laterβ¦ much wiser, thinner, and having done what many had said was impossible.
