Jemisin (John Green, New York Times). When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s, California becomes full of dangers, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day.

But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision
