In a follow up to his bestselling book, World Made by Hand, in which Kunstler imagines a post-oil future, comes The Witch of Hebron. Set in the not-distant future, the citizens of Union Grove, New York, have little knowledge of the world outside of their town. All modern advances have vanished and the citizens are left with horse-drawn travel and herbal medicines, and farming is central to their way of life. And with it brings wars over dwindling resources, illness, bandits and a sinister cult that threatens to shatter Union Grove's fragile stability. “Kunstler decries our refusal to face the facts about our oil habit, dramatizes how quickly “the great thrumming engine of modernity” can be halted, and celebrates the benefits of living intimately with nature.”- Booklist
