It is 2090. God's Flood has left the world underwater. A supervirus has hospitalised most of the population in huge warehouse hospices for the terminally ill. Scotland 's people survive on floating cities in the Clyde Delta, besieged by fifty degree heat, cybergangsters like Diamond Broon and radge hurricanes called Elvis. Written entirely in Scots (with an introduction for readers new to this rich Scottish language) . Matthew Fitt's SF classic in the Mither Tongue is more relevant today than ever.
Moarnan. No sure if it's moarnan. Canna hear the porters. The young ane wi the bonnie voice, chantin his wey roon. An his gaffer shoutin on him tae wheesht. Thae twa isna in yet. Stull on the Rail. Gantin owre their papers. Creeshin doon the hair. Haun in atween their legs.
