But California is not as he imagined: Drought, wildfire, and corporate corruption are omnipresent, and the company behind a mysterious new brand of synthetic water seems to be at the root of it all. Patrick partners with Cassidy--after having been her reluctant chauffeur for weeks--and the two of them investigate the sun-scorched city's darker crevices, where they discover that catastrophe resembles order until the last possible second. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this often-witty and all-too-timely story, Alexandra Kleeman grapples with the corruption of our environment in the age of alternative facts. \u003ci\u003eSomething New Under the Sun \u003c\/i\u003eis a meticulous and deeply felt accounting of our very human anxieties, liabilities, dependencies, and, ultimately, responsibility to truth.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49510147588369,"sku":"GOR013582171","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49973851848977,"sku":"CIN1984826301G","price":4.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50162838012177,"sku":"CIN1984826301VG","price":4.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1984826301.jpg?v=1751188458","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/something-new-under-the-sun-book-alexandra-kleeman-9781984826305","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
