A dystopian essay written as a book, but without any great insight. What if nationalism, global warming, jihadism, and unrestrained inequality all run their course? Bad things. ( ) A dystopian novel of the near future. Julian West, an aging social scientist who had predicted (in part) the shattering of old nations into smaller and smaller sub-groups, explores the declining world of 2050, with constant 'low intensity' conflicts in once civilized nations, rising waters creating a flood of refugees, and business who take advantage of the chaos, only to spread it further. A frightening look at a future whose beginnings are already all around us. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Part Field Notes from a Catastrophe, part 1984, part World War Z, John Feffer's striking new dystopian novel takes us deep into the battered, shattered world of 2050. The European Union has broken apart. Multiethnic great powers like Russia and China have shriveled. America's global military footprint has virtually disappeared and the United States remains united in name only. Nationalism has proven the century's most enduring force as ever-rising global temperatures have supercharged each-against-all competition and conflict among the now 300-plus members of an increasingly feeble United Nations. As he navigates the world of 2050, Julian West offers a roadmap for the path we're already on, a chronicle of impending disaster, and a faint light of hope. He may be humanity's last best chance to explain how the world unraveled--if he can survive the savage beauty of the Splinterlands. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
