4.0

this is a novel about the construction of the Panama canal, offering an intimate examination of the impact this construction had on people in a myriad of ways, as well as the local community as a whole. it’s an exploration of greed, of trying to own of trying to make more and take more no matter the costs. of the lengths we will go to in order to protect ourselves, even when all we’re doing is hurting ourselves
