A gripping story of environmental collapse, government gone crazy, and waste disposal coming back to haunt us. Even though it is written as a thriller, the events take place far away from the centre of things, and the characters at the centre have no real control over the events that are taking place. It reminded me of Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil', in that decisions are made arbitrarily by a powerful elite, who care little for a powerless population. Our hero has an inkling of this, but although he has some kind of authority does not posess any power. It's also set in the near future, but don't let that put you off if SF isn't your thing. No aliens or elves, I promise. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
