This week we are discussing Omar El Akkad's 2017 novel American War, which imagines a civil war in a future America driven by conflict over the continued use of fossil fuels. Charting the lives of the Chestnut family, the book paints a grim picture of the consequences of civil strife, reversing the polarity of past interventions by showing what it might look like if foreign empires began interfering in internal America conflicts in the way that America has so frequently interfered in the affairs of others.
We also continue our coverage of recent developments in the 2024 presidential race, tracking the extent to which we are, or are not, headed towards our own apocalypse.
This episode contains spoilers for American War.
