![]() ![]() ![]() (Familiar, right?) Crippled with anxiety about the rotten world they stand to inherit, high schoolers respond with a disturbing protest movement that soon becomes a global epidemic: mass suicide, “an act of collective surrender.” In this sorrowed world, stratified by money, power, and greed, three unlikely young heroes resist the movement and journey into the American West, where wildfires rage through the redwoods and homegrown terrorists stoke lethal violence. This epic literary thriller is set in a not-too-distant future, where the nation is hopelessly divided, the political system is broken, and the climate is barreling toward irrevocable disaster. In Anthem, out now, it's the end of the world as society knows it, and only teenagers can see the big picture. It's a question young people around the world are rightfully posing-and one the writer can't stop thinking about. "What is this world our parents are giving us, if not a disaster?" asks a teenager known only as The Prophet in Anthem, Noah Hawley's explosive new novel. ![]()
