Short Synopsis
Kora Green’s species has lived eons, bound across shared hallucination and in denial of their physical bodies. When she begins to experience vivid memories of being awake, her community demands conformity and refuses to accept what she sees. But when a spacecraft from another solar system arrives, the heretic Kora may hold the key to their survival.

Long Synopsis
Atmosphere is a struggle for survival between two disparate alien species that hinges on the unlikely collaboration between an ailing primate and an exiled dreamer.
Kora learned to talk in her sleep. In fact, everything she has ever been taught occurred while sleeping. She has lived so robustly while unconscious that she cannot ever remember ever being awake. What happens when she starts having bright visions that she can't share with others? What happens when the new sensations of sunlight on her skin and the cool water between her toes cannot be forgotten? Under the threat of violence and exile, her species reminds her that it is forbidden to discuss what happens in the wake-state. They tell her that she has everything she needs: her community, the ability to see and feel other's dreams, the warm embrace of the Quorum race.
Swenno's race is violent and driven. Among these tree climbing primates, there is a pecking order and physical might always wins. Emotions are a sign of weakness and violence and science are all his primate-like species trusts. There is no room for remorse, no room to daydream.
Dr. Phlox Swenno is trying to outrun an unspoken shame. His fellow ring-tailed Primalans view him as ill-equipped for his new life aboard a deep-space freighter, and by the time his craft reaches its destination, Swenno is suffering hallucinations and rampant narcolepsy. The planet they now orbit, however, incubates new and unforeseen dangers and the doctor becomes the only one who can read the clues.
Atmosphere becomes, at its deepest level, an allegory regarding the importance of memory, dreams, and forgiveness.
