About
Hydrophobia is set in 2051. Rising sea levels and a massive population explosion have lead to the worst famine and poverty levels ever seen. The Queen of the World, a massive ship for the rich representing the last remnant of old capitalism, cruises the oceans researching nanotechnology to purify seawater on a molecular level to provide drinking water for everyone. But the Queen of the World is attacked by the Neo-Malthusians, a group dedicated to saving the world by culling the world's population from ten billion to half a billion. Systems Engineer Kate Wilson is caught in the attack and must fight to save the ship from sinking.
