Description

Among modern fiction’s many “wickedly brilliant…endlessly talented” (Publishers Weekly) satirists provides a dystopian book skewering worldwide politics and Big-Brother-style government post-9/11.When Ben Brodzinksi attempts to quit smoking, he accidentally sparks a series of events that threaten to upset the tenuous stability of serenity in a not-too-distant terrain. When he flicks the bottom of his ultimate smoke off the balcony of his holiday condo, it places on aged Reggie Lincoln, relaxing on the balcony below. Lincoln endures a burn, and the neighborhood experts cost Ben with assault—in a nation with draconian anti smoking regulations, a smoke is just a tool of crime. For reparation, Ben should leave his family behind and stroll through the dry middle of the country’s empty place.
