absolutely crazy sci-fi, retro-futuristic masterpiece. a bit of a slow start but once it gets going you cannot put this book down. antarctic expedition, ancient structures found deep, deep under the ice. international scientists investigate find and open a prehistoric atomic shelter to reveal two humans frozen in blocks of absolute zero ice. once defrosted, and using the newfound "universal energy" technology, the scientists and the world begin to learn what political events led up to the destruction of a much earlier and more sophisticated humanity. deep echoes to the cold war era time this book was written in, as well as today's climate. the book is dreamy, fascinating, dystopian, i can truly escape into it which is all i ask
