A look at what would happen if our oil reserves ran out much more quickly than we thought possible, and the OPEC countries turned out to be almost depleted as well? What if we went to war with Venezuela over it, while prices quadrupled overnight? What if hurricane season happened to be worse than normal that same year? This book takes us through teenagers struggling with the new reality.
I read this hoping for a book with some actual science in it, a book based on science that could be researched, and conclusions that made sense, if a bit extreme. I was satisfied with that, although the book is already almost 10 years old, and felt a little dated already. But it wasn't a particularly gripping book, and when the hurricane hit, I found it more ridiculous than distressing.
