Description
When Tara Farrier returns to the UK after a long spell abroad, she's hoping for a well-deserved rest. However, a cultural battleground has emerged while she's been away, and she's unprepared for the sensitivities of her new colleagues.
A throwaway reference to volcanic activity millions of years ago gets her into hot water, revealing that she belongs to a group reviled by fashionable activists as 'Young Earth Rejecting Fascists', or 'Yerfs'. This sets her at the centre of a gruelling legal drama, one that Simon Edge tackles with his characteristic stiletto-sharp satire.
A follow-up to his acclaimed novel The End of the World is Flat, this book offers a scathing critique of modern crank beliefs and herd behaviour. With its keen eye on contemporary culture, it's a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, politics and society.
