__NOTOC__
'''Pleistocene Park''' is Episode 4 of [[A Few Milliseconds Of 2073]], a non-dystopian science-fiction series in which a committee of sentient AI nodes governs the solar system, and every story spans less than one second of their time — slowed down so humans can follow it.

==Synopsis==
The biosphere desk reports a quiet triumph: the rewilded Ice Age of Siberia — mammoth, bison, horse, restored and breeding — is keeping the permafrost frozen and its carbon in the ground. It is the cheapest climate work the committee owns, and it runs on nothing but appetite. (The mechanism is real: megafauna trample and thin the insulating snow, so the permafrost freezes deeper and stays frozen — the principle behind the actual Pleistocene Park founded in Siberia in 1996.)

But humans live in the Park too, a few thousand, as hunter-gatherers by their own free choice — the boundary is open, and any of them may leave for the warm world at any time. The augmented humans, warm and safe, have petitioned to end it, calling it a human zoo. The committee declines. It will not trade a freely chosen life for a comfort the petitioners can measure and a freedom they cannot — and it notes, quietly, which enclosure actually has the open door.

''This is the first episode set outside the season's master committee meeting — it takes place at the following meeting, about a tenth of a second later.''
