Extended description

It’s the 1980s in a nightmarish alternate-world America. U.S. society has fallen apart under food shortages, fuel shortages, racial unrest and a host of other problems.

Review by: Elfwreck on Dec. 08, 2011 :
This was one of the books that shaped my worldview as a teenager, and I'm delighted to find it again and discover it still reads well. The story is disturbingly plausible and the characters just as diverse and real as when I first read it.
