World Made by Hand by James Howard Kunstler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed this book from the library. It has been on my to-read list since 2009 when it was a NY Times Bestseller.
I find it interesting that many dystopian novels written for Young Adults have themes about throwing off control of oppressive government regimes and a theme for this book is about establishing "normalcy" and civil order as one man and then a community seeks to find justice for a murder. I found it interesting to wonder just how I might live in this world of a diminished population, no electricity, and a barter system. My current water supply relies on a pump to reach an underground aquifer, and the author mentions how this no longer worked.
I recommend this book for all readers.
