description: Drowning Towers is a bildungsroman, the story of a young boy growing up in a future city that is overpopulated, automated to the point where only the privileged have jobs and decent houses, and being progressively flooded by the rising waters of the world’s oceans—a process that brings chaotic weather and worldwide food shortages. This is the gripping, intense, sometimes violent story of life in the face of a long, slow disaster.
