| Synopsis: |
It's the year 2039, and Lake Michigan is mysteriously emptied ofwater. The planet's atmosphere and magnetic field are failing, andfires burn ominously throughout the empty lake bed. In this seeminglyendless desert east of Chicago, three factions are locked in conflict: the original end-of-times cultist settlers who follow religious visionaryFulcrum Maneuvers and worship a giant World Worm they deemresponsible for the drained lake; the megacorporation Quadrilateral, a mega-consumerist, planned-community combine of bourgeois cityplanners developing what is now called the Wildland-Urban Interface;and the Blackout Angels, landlocked punk pirates raised in Quadrilateralcities, who oppose everything and everyone. In Davis Schneiderman'sshocking novel, Drain, freedom, creativity, and transgression wagewar with forces of control, censorship, and conformity.The wordscapes of William S. Burroughs and Thomas Pynchon, thedystopic nightmares of Philip K. Dick, and the transgressive punch ofChuck Palahniuk and Georges Bataille together convene in this stunningand thrilling work. |
