Added a quotation: “Ima was here earlier, and said some strange things. She told me to find a man who can give me a litter”Alex

Added a quotation: ““No, you most certainly aren’t dead anymore.””Ima, cat-like doctor residing on The Bell.
Added a quotation: ““Twenty-five seventy-seven? Suuure it is.””Alex
Added a quotation: ““Why are you wearing the bed?””Anya

The world was a bank of fog that came and went like waves on the sea, interrupted occasionally by the blackness of night, or maybe death.

Added a theme: Names and Naming: In the book, modern society came to a screeching halt and led humanity to the brink of extinction. Many objects, such as The Bell, are irreverently named to remind readers not to take our way of life for granted. There are also many reminders in the book that material objects that can seem important mean very little compared to the people around us.
marked the description of Names and Naming as not a spoiler
Added a theme: Religion: While religion isn't discussed in the book, there are undertones of several religions and mythologies. For example, a woman with snakes for hair appears, and the main character assumes she must be Medusa from Greek mythology. Could the gods and mysterious creatures of Earth be alien visitors? The characters Adam and Eve in the series are also typical for the author. Man-made, they were intended to start a new era, but the attempt failed because of free will.

"Brand New World" is the first novella in the "Embarkment 2577" series.
When Alexandra wakes up in an unknown environment, populated by a cat-like woman with a tail and a hologram of a rockstar, she knows ~~that~~she has to be hallucinating. Maybe she ~~has~~hit her head, or finally suffered that nervous breakdown. It doesn't get any better from finding out ~~that~~she died and was taken into the future by the elusive Adam, whom she can't remember, or from people telling her ~~that~~she's on a ~~spaceship.~~spaceship.
The last year or so is gone from her memory, and she has no choice but to try to adapt. As days go by, her new environment becomes more and more unnerving. She finds herself helpless, and completely dependent on a man who isn't even human.
