ABOUT THE SERIES

EXTRACTION imagines a world of dual planets: EARTH, where the water supply has reached red alert. Most people eke out an existence but most feel like they’re just waiting to die. Radical right wing leaders have taken over and all on Earth feels lost… and TULSA, a utopia discovered by women of color scientists (geologists, chemists, astronomers, physicists, biologists, et al) which has been colonized and growing since the early 1900s thanks to a covert extraction program. Tulsa can only be accessed from Earth via a secret hidden wormhole that has existed for eons. People of color (Black, Latinx, Asian, Native Indigenous, Aboriginal, Inuit) had been secretly leaving Earth for Tulsa for 50 odd years until the extraction program was abruptly ended due to a major security issue. Tulsa exists in complete secrecy, or so they think. A private government agency has been hunting for Tulsa and its untapped pure water reserves for decades. Having come up empty thus far, the agency is more of a boutique thing that isn't given much attention or many resources anymore.
