![]() ![]() In a book that is both shocking yet eerily convincing, Kunstler seamlessly weaves hot-button issues such as the decline of oil and the perils of climate change into a compelling narrative of violence, religious hysteria, innocence lost, and love found. And a sinister cult threatens to shatter Union Grove's fragile stability. Bandits roam the countryside, preying on the weak. Wars are fought over dwindling resources and illness is a constant presence. In the tiny hamlet of Union Grove, New York, travel is horse-drawn and farming is back at the center of life. In the sequel to his novel, World Made by Hand, Kunstler expands on his vision of a post-oil society with a new novel about an America in which the electricity has flickered off, the Internet is a distant memory, and the government is little more than a rumor. Already a renowned social commentator and a best-selling novelist and nonfiction writer, James Howard Kunstler has recently attained even greater prominence in the global conversation about energy and the environment. ![]()
