A novel about family, scarcity, and what it means to sell out as the world ends.
The world hasn’t quite ended, but it’s getting there. The West has dried up, the Delaware-Catskill watershed on the east coast has been contaminated, and water scarcity has driven most of the population to the shores of the Great Lakes. Here, real estate interests run rampant and the possibility of snagging a house close enough to fresh water has realigned global financial interests. And, as always, the working class is being pushed aside to make way for white and wealthy newcomers.
Amidst the chaos, three brothers try to navigate this swiftly changing landscape. As one seeks influence in politics, the younger two are drawn into the dangerous, shadowy world of private security and militias. In the precarious new world that these three brothers traverse, J. M. Holmes offers a grim yet familiar future in which scarcity fuels resentment, resentment sparks extremism, and extremism ignites around the racial tensions of our present and uncertain moment.
