Geneva 2061

Grooters

Cover of Grooters, Book 1: the circle with the star on a yellow background

Grooters is a novel series by Henrik Hillerström. As children, six friends sealed a Pact: to help their parents and make the world a little better. Years later, as adults, they meet again and begin travelling to Dream Worlds, places where the world as it could be already exists, in search of the crystals of Crystallica.

Geneva in 2061 is one of these Dream Worlds. In Part 16 of the first book, Verity arrives at the Plaine de Plainpalais market and walks through a Geneva she barely recognises: quiet, green, beautiful, and full of radiant people. This website starts from her walk and asks how we get there from today.
