Review of 'World Made by Hand' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

A weak work of fiction but an interesting view of a possible future

Violating the time honored rule of "show, don't tell," this is an awkward novel. I read it to see a visualization of what Kunstler was addressing in his non-fiction. I'm glad I did, but the novel does not stand on its own.
