On Being an Eco-Tourist Guide and Wannabe Eco-Terrorist in Sarawak
Abstract
In the not-too-distant future, a young woman learns to be an eco-tourist guide in a tamed Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo. Under the guise of a light-hearted, even humorous voice, she guides 22nd century tourists in a familiar and yet not-familiar Kuching, with its tropical dystopian versions of the famous Cultural Village, Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, and Bako National Park. But what starts out as an idyllic tropical eco-tour holiday turns into the chaos of an eco-terrorist attack, the objective of which is to free caged wildlife, including bearded pigs, silver langurs, and proboscis monkeys.
