The company soldier Hannah and the scientists Gavin and Dimitri are researching an algae project on board the Rubikon space station, which is supposed to permanently supply humanity with oxygen and food. But suddenly the earth disappears below them in a brown, toxic fog and all contact is broken off - are they the last survivors of humanity? Should they initiate the safe station, dare the return flight and thereby risk their lives?

User reviews
Where do we draw the line between altruism and self interest?
This is the question Rubikon rather astutely asks. It sets up this moral conundrum in the context of a capitalist corporate society. One where money defines one's place, in the pecking order.
Its a reflection increasingly of our own world in the West. One driven by self interest, where altruism typically takes a back seat to "me first."
Its interesting then, to see the interplay between characters placed in a microcosm of modern society. How will they react when called upon to sacrifice? How much will they be willing to give up?
There's no judgement or condemnation here, nor I feel should there be. This is simply a reflection of who we have become.
Well acted, intelligently written, modest in its approach and surprisingly engrossing.
