Spanning three distinct timelines, 'Appleseed' weaves a rich tapestry of myth, speculative fiction, and ecological fable. In the 18th century, Ohio's untamed frontier sees two brothers planting apple orchards, with visions of civilization even as their relationship unravels. Fast forward to a 21st-century world ravaged by climate change, where corporate dominance and bioengineering have led to a monopolization of global resources. Amidst this dystopia, a rebel founder plots to dismantle the very empire he helped create. A millennia later, an icy North America hosts a solitary, sentient being on a quest, driven by a beacon that promises the echoes of a civilization long lost. 'Appleseed' is Matt Bell's audacious exploration of humanity's relationship with the earth, delving into the legacies we leave behind and the stories that shape our existence.
