Description
Upton Sinclair's Oil! is a searing critique of fossil fuels that predicted our current warming planet while imagining a greener and more inclusive future. Written in 1927, this novel burst into the literary limelight amid soaring petroleum profits and gaping inequalities. By turns an ardent family saga, scintillating potboiler, and anti-capitalist tirade, Oil! ranks among the most important critiques of fossil energy ever printed. This edition features a contextual introduction by Michael Tondre that illuminates the novel's urgent timeliness in our warming world.
