A couple of generations ago, our country’s best and brightest would be working on trying to solve that problem.
“Americans are dying, a whole country is going down in flames, the world order is collapsing. “At the height of the Iraq War, I had an epiphany,” Brooks says. Brooks describes the organization as the brainchild of Steve Jobs and Timothy Treadwell-the famous “Grizzly Man” who was mauled and eaten by a grizzly bear. Greenloop goes to the very heart of our era’s technological hubris. When the mountain erupts, the community of Greenloop-now cut off from contact with the rest of the world-utterly breaks down. In Devolution, a small group of highly civilized individuals has created Greenloop, a perfectly fabricated environmentalist utopia in the woods of Washington state, in the shadow of Mount Rainier’s dormant volcano.
“We are racing headlong to build a society for comfort and not for resilience.”Īfter the global zombie apocalypse of his bestselling World War Z, Brooks now focuses his catastrophic lens on a microcosm of inevitable collapse. “And in order to have those comforts, we’re gutting all the safeguards that previous generations worked so hard to build for us.” “It basically came out of the idea that we are racing headlong to build a society for comfort and not for resilience,” Brooks says. Believe it or not, Max Brooks’ sensational new novel of anthropological horror, Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre, is about the real world.
