The world as we know it is changing. Pollution destroyed the Earth 500 years ago. A large group of people flew to Mars before it was too late, but they couldn't make it habitable.
1441 is now one of the few humans left alive. He has no mission and no goal to speak of. He just wants to look back on his life and feel it was worth it. But can he do that with only one year left? Maybe the fact that Martian years are longer will play in his favor, or maybe it will just welcome more misfortune.
"The end is now" is the principle that shapes the world he lives in.
