Description

A small group of European explorers returns to a now unrecognizable America, a century after the continent was abandoned due to the energy crisis of the late twentieth century. The Bering Strait has been dammed, and much of the country has become a desert, home to isolated natives and the remnants of a disintegrated culture. Their journey takes them across the country, through Holiday Inns and abandoned theme parks, in search of a shocking new power in the heart of Las Vegas. This fable lifts a great freight of ideas effortlessly, exploring the intersection of human desire and the mutated landscape of America. Published in 2013, this novel is a thought-provoking exploration of a world that has been transformed by human actions.
