Something New Under the Sun
关于此电子书
A bold, addictive and urgent new novel about capitalism, environmental collapse and our near future.
What is really going on?
Patrick Hamlin has come to Hollywood to see his novel be adapted for the screen, but why does he get the feeling that the film project is a smokescreen for something else? Does Cassidy Carter, the troubled starlet due to play the lead, know something he doesn’t? And what is the truth about WAT-R, the synthetic water everyone drinks in LA?
Sharply funny, alluring and devastating, Something New Under the Sun is an unmissable novel for our present moment.
