    Summary

    It was a modest grave. The headstone was small and understated, made of simple stone, but the quote beneath her name was undeniably expensive to carve.

    I’d read somewhere that an environmentalist group raised the funds to bury her, though there was no funeral. There were no documentaries about her heroism. There were no celebrations or decorations on her grave. She had no mourners, just grateful children who saw her name in the paper and wanted to do some good.

    That was ten years ago today.

    Or: On the anniversary of Eva Stratt's death, a newly returned Ryland Grace visits her grave in the Netherlands.

    Summary

    The Ryland Grace Memorial Diner sat between a construction site and a cluster of small apartments on the recovering streets of San Francisco.

    It was founded in 1972, renamed in 2051, and in 2053, a statue of a schoolteacher was erected within its walls. Now, it attracted tourists and students alike, bright eyes and eager minds all competing for a view of Earth’s most beloved man in man’s most beloved habitat.

    Or: A look at the people of the San Fran diner Grace goes to every morning for breakfast in the book.

    Summary

    He does not hold himself like a hero. At first glance, it’s hard to believe that this man saved the world. But once you look closer, you come to realise how his specific brand of charm was exactly what Earth needed in its eleventh hour.

    Dr Ryland Grace holds himself like a teacher.

    He asks me how you’re meant to start these sorts of things, and, suddenly taken aback by the sight of him in front of me, I give it to him the only way I know how. “Tell me about life on Earth.”

    Or: Ryland Grace finally gets his Futuristic BuzzFeed interview.
