New Novel with the World Water Crises as a Subplot
Today I received a comment here concerning a new book, "H2O", by the author Mark Swartz. The novel takes place in Chicago in the year 2020, which has found the world wide water crises hitting that city hard.
With no tap water, Chicago finds Lake Michigan toxic, and the rest of the world no better off. In the book, Hayden Shivers, a filter engineer with Drixa, a water tech mega corporation, discovers, what he thinks is a way of synthesizing water.
It is my belief that this novel, will remain entertaining fiction, as there now exists the technology to deliver potable water to all of the world. Apparently what the world lacks is either the will or the funds to make it happen.
