description In 1988 as the spirit of glasnost convinced even the US Reagan administration of the power of international cooperation, a Cold War coffee-table book of photographs of the Earth from space was published. American and Russian astronauts and cosmonauts defied Cold War prejudices to create a trans-national Association of Space Explorers, the main priority of which was ahead of its time: to wake humanity up to the devastation it perpetrates against its only life-support machine—planet Earth. Harvey's Orbital follows one day in the life of the International Space Station (ISS), that “great metal albatross” that orbits our planet every 90 min (its speed: 18 000 miles per h). The images of looping cycles in this novel recall the dynamism that sustains life, from the atomic to the cosmic: electrons, neural circuits, the circulation of the blood, the turning atmosphere, those spirals of motion in four dimensions as our planet wheels around a sun which is itself rotating around a hurtling galaxy.
