The Greenloop community has considered every last detail, except for the natural environment.ĭevolution follows the travails of resident Kate Holland through the “found footage” nature of her diary/journal. The well meaning community is aggressively planned in the most thoughtful way that creates the lightest touch on the natural environment. A handful of houses and a common house are serviced by Amazon drones and cutting edge environmentally friendly technology.
Ranier.įoodies, academics, beatnicks, and the ecologically minded all assemble to become the Greenloop community. In Devolution, Brooks manufactures a hyper-privledged community daintily parked at the foothills of the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States, Mt. Create a fun melange of horror and society’s discerning and collective look in the mirror. In his fifth full length novel Brooks does exactly what he’s always set out to do. Max Brooks, of World War Z fame, understandably and purposefully sticks with what he knows: fast paced horror with a health dose of social editorializing. From the hopefully earnest to the horrifically primal. Devolution is exists in a very real space with very real consequences. Only to be horrifically outdone by the unplanned mysteries of mother nature and her largely uncaring and brutish ways. Well-meaning people set out to change the world, lessen their foot print, and revel in their own brainy viewpoint. Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre, By Max Brooks
