James Howard Kunstler

    James Howard Kunstler ist ein amerikanischer Autor und Gesellschaftskritiker, der für seine Kritik am Vorstadtleben und der Stadtentwicklung bekannt ist. Seine Werke untersuchen die Auswirkungen der sinkenden Ölförderung und sagen das Ende der Industriegesellschaft sowie eine erzwungene Rückkehr zu lokalen, agrarischen Gemeinschaften voraus. Seine Schriften betonen oft die Notwendigkeit, unsere gegenwärtigen Lebensstile neu zu bewerten und uns an die Realität begrenzter Ressourcen anzupassen. Kunstler fordert die Leser heraus, die langfristigen Folgen unserer Entscheidungen zu bedenken und nach nachhaltigeren Wegen zu suchen.

      In the sequel to his novel, World Made by Hand, Kunstler expands on his vision of a post-oil society with a new novel about an America in which the electricity has flickered off, the Internet is a distant memory, and the government is little more than a rumor. In the tiny hamlet of Union Grove, New York, travel is horse-drawn and farming is back at the center of life. But it’s no pastoral haven. Wars are fought over dwindling resources and illness is a constant presence. Bandits roam the countryside, preying on the weak. And a sinister cult threatens to shatter Union Grove’s fragile stability. In a book that is both shocking yet eerily convincing, Kunstler seamlessly weaves hot-button issues such as the decline of oil and the perils of climate change into a compelling narrative of violence, religious hysteria, innocence lost, and love found.

      The Witch of Hebron
    • For the townspeople of Union Grove, New York, the future is not what they thought it would be.  Transportation is slow and dangerous, so food is grown locally at great expense of time and energy. And the outside world is largely unknown. There may be a president and he may be in Minneapolis now, but people aren’t sure. As the heat of summer intensifies, the residents struggle with the new way of life in a world of abandoned highways and empty houses, horses working the fields and rivers replenished with fish. A captivating, utterly realistic novel, World Made by Hand takes speculative fiction beyond the apocalypse and shows what happens when life gets extremely local.
