Ben Weissenbachan digital native with little prior wilderness experienceembarks on a series of scientific adventures across the wilds of Alaska with some of the states most distinguished and audacious researchers.At the age of twenty, college student Ben Weissenbach went north to Arctic Alaska armed with little more than inspiration from his literary heroes and a growing interest in climate change. What met him there was a world utterly unlike the 21st century Los Angeles in which he grew upa land of ice, rock, and grizzlies seen by few outside a small contingent of scientists with big personalities.Theres Roman Dial, the largerthanlife ecologist with whom Ben walks and rafts a thousand miles across Alaskas Brooks Range. Theres Kenji Yoshikawa, the reindeerherding permafrost expert who leaves Ben alone for eleven days to care for his offgrid homestead, where temperatures drop to 49 degrees Fahrenheit. And theres Matt Nolan, the independent glaciologist who flies him to the largest glaciers in the American Arctic.As these scientists teach Ben to read Alaskas warming landscape, he confronts the limits of digital life and the complexity of the world beyond his screens. He emerges from each adventure with a new perspective on our modern relationship to technology and a growing wonder for our fastchangingeverchangingnatural world.
