SUMMARY:SF Book Club - Under the Eye of the Big Bird by Hiromi Kawakami
DESCRIPTION:Under the Eye of the Big Bird by Hiromi Kawakami. In the 
 distant future\, humans are on the verge of extinction and have settled in 
 small tribes across the planet under the observation and care of "Mothers." 
 Some children are made in factories\, from cells of rabbits and dolphins\; 
 some live by getting nutrients from water and light\, like plants. The 
 survival of the race depends on the interbreeding of these and other alien 
 beings-but it is far from certain that connection\, love\, reproduction\, 
 and evolution will persist among the inhabitants of this faltering new 
 world. Unfolding over fourteen interconnected episodes spanning geological 
 eons\, at once technical and pastoral\, mournful and utopic\, Under the Eye 
 of the Big Bird presents an astonishing vision of the end of our species as 
 we know it.
