In this "richly imagined" dystopian vision, mankind must find a way to survive as modern civilization slowly comes apart (
O, The Oprah Magazine).
When Earth ran dry of oil, the age of the automobile came to an end; electricity flickered out. With deprivation came desperation-and desperation drove humanity backward to a state of existence few could have imagined.
In the tiny hamlet of Union Grove, New York, every day is a struggle. For Mayor Robert Earle, it is a battle to keep the citizens united. As the bonds of civilization are torn apart by war, famine, and violence, there are some who aim to carve out a new society: one in which might makes right-a world of tyranny, subjugation, and death. A world Earle must fight against...
In his shocking nonfiction work,
The Long Emergency, social commentator James Howard Kunstler explored the reality of what would happen if the engines stopped running. In
World Made by Hand, he offers a stark glimpse of that future in a work of speculative fiction that stands as "an impassioned and invigorating tale whose ultimate message is one of hope, not despair" (
San Francisco Chronicle).
"Brilliant." -Alan Cheuse,
Chicago Tribune
"It frightens without being ridiculously nightmarish, it cautions without being too judgmental, and it offers glimmers of hope we don't have to read between the lines to comprehend." -
