The other Canberra bubble - what if the national capital was housed under a dome?

An award-winning author's latest book for young adult readers is set in a futuristic Canberra, where the national capital is contained under a dome, protecting its citizens from extreme weather events, dangerous solar radiation and civil unrest.

It's a different kind of Canberra bubble in Isobelle Carmody's latest work, Comes the Night, which is chock full of Canberra references and fascinating, mind-blowing ideas about the future, which all makes for a riveting read for the young-adult audience.
