I 1877 udkom Jules Vernes berømte fortælling "Jorden rundt på 80 dage" på dansk. 100 år efter beslutter journalist og eventyrer Arne Falk-Rønne sig for at besøge de samme steder. Men som det ofte er tilfældet, er virkeligheden en ganske anden end den, som findes i bøgernes verden. Arne Falk-Rønne og hans følgesvend, den berømte modstandsmand fra 2. verdenskrig Max Manus, oplever både vidunderlige og chokerende ting på deres rejse. De møder sheiker i Bangladesh, oplever politiske uroligheder i San Francisco, besøger opiumshuler i Hongkongs forbudte by og møder en slangetæmmerske i Bombay.

Science fiction dwells mostly in the realm of possibility, where mysteries proliferate nevertheless, meaning is never static, and “time and history have convinced us that things are not as they seem”. So, too, does all language, argues Samuel Delany, in his vigorous justification for the writing life.

Être ainsi quotidiennement confronté à tant de drames laisse des traces.
