Set in a dystopian near-future in which America has become little more than a theme park in terminal disrepair, they constitute a searching and bitterly humorous commentary on the current state of the American Dream.\n\nFunny, sad, bleak, weird, toxic - the future of America as the Free Market runs rampant,the environment skids into disarray, and civilization dissolves into surreal chaos. These wacky, brilliant, hilarious and entirely original stories cue us in on George Saunders skewed vision of the legacy we are creating. Against the backdrop of our devolvement, our own worst tendencies and greatest virtues are weirdly illuminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118410162229,"sku":"ByrdShop_1573225797","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781573225793_d9aa472b-24cf-4952-9412-1b550133b4df.jpg?v=1778710062","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/civilwarland-in-bad-decline-9781573225793","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
