The narrative is set in an unspecified distant future, when an alien intelligence inspects what remains of Earth, no longer inhabited, where the human race has gone extinct due to climate change. The planet is entirely frozen.
Two beings – “the Explorer” and “the Monitor” – converse with each other from afar. The former, with his probes, in an uninhabited, sterile planet covered by immense glaciers, has discovered a library with numerous volumes still preserved and attempts to decipher them with his machinery. He thus uncovers passages from books that speak of nature, water, sea, mountains, deserts, snow, and glaciers, adventures, animals, and humans. Readings that poetically and emotionally exalt the variety, complexity, and beauty of the past life that existed on the ice planet.
The two protagonists hypothesize about the human race, the causes of its extinction, the climate of the blue planet, the beauty of those now-extinct places, until they understand: “that is where we were born as well.”
The ice that buries the library is therefore a true deposit, a treasure chest of memory, a precious treasure. Thus, the truth emerges: the two voices are nothing but artificial intelligences discussing among themselves.
The ending, therefore, conveys the idea that humanity has gone extinct. Only the cybernetic robots remain, now living and functioning without humans. And just like humans, they feel emotions: that sense of melancholy and sadness for a physical and real world that no longer exists today.
