description: 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. In the tiny hamlet of Union Grove New York travel is horse-drawn and farming is back at the center of life. But its no pastoral haven. Wars are fought over dwindling resources and illness is a constant presence. Bandits roam the countryside preying on the weak. And a sinister cult threatens to shatter Union Groves fragile stability. 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.
