Not easy to read but important!
This book tells a dystopian future of rising British sealevels, where people are migrating largely from sparcly populated rural areas, where it is very hard to make a living to densely populated cities where it slightly easier for most to make a living. Sadly this tells of a political environment that is not to dissimilar to the one we are living in today and as such could serve as a wake up call to be kinder to each other and the planet.
Happily though in this particular supposedly dystopic vision of the future hippy communes are making a come-back. Horrah may be there is hope for the human race after all.
