Chapter Breakdown
Introduction
Setting the scene imaginatively: poetic writing describing monster-like qualities in humans’ lifestyle. Examples in the book: "...these same creatures enter colourful beetles that crawl on asphalt paths," are cars, and "these creatures also control the giant bird-like machines in the sky," are planes. "What planet is this? Why do these creatures travel in this way?"
Human Nature & Animals
Philosophical and anthropological stance that humans are animals with examples of creatives exploring this concept. Reveals the nature of humans and how humans think they are more superior and segregates themselves from other animals.
This segment concludes with an intriguing insight of the irony of humans being inhumane, more beastly and “animal-like” than the animals themselves. Quoted from the book, “there are monstrous qualities of our remarkable creations, and there are the monster-like qualities to our inhumanity.”
The Deep
The other half of the book shows our little understanding of the ocean and teaches readers about it. It has an introduction to Mesopelagic Zone (chosen as it is the next affected area after coral reefs) and reveals the importance of the ocean.
Life in the Deep (Insert)
This segment also includes an insert for readers to learn about the scary monsters (sea creatures) from the Mesopelagic Zone.
Care to Notice
Final chapter of the book calls for a new level of awareness to the dangers the creatures are facing due to us. It stresses the importance that the future of Earth is in our hands.
