World War Z, this striking 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 three hundred-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.
Praise for
Splinterlands
"In a chilling, thoughtful, and intuitive warning, foreign policy analyst Feffer... takes today's woes of a politically fragmented, warming Earth and amplifies them into future catastrophe.... This novel is not for the emotionally squeamish or optimistic; Feffer's confident recitation of world collapse is terrifyingly plausible, a short but encompassing look at world tragedy." -
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Feffer's book is a wild ride through a bleak future, casting a harsh, thought-provoking light on that future's modern-day roots." -
Foreword Reviews
"A startling portrait of a post-apocalyptic tomorrow that is fast becoming a reality today. Fast-paced, yet strangely haunting, Feffer's latest novel looks back from 2050 on the disintegration of world order told through the story of one broken family-and offers a disturbing vision of what might await us all if we don't act quickly." -Barbara Ehrenreich,
