Sean Illing of Vox interviews the Canadian-Egyptian author
Omar El Akkad, of “American War”, set in 2075.
This sounds like a more gradual dystopian future. Some southern states have seceded and some of
the American southwest has been retroceded to Mexico. Coastal cities have been
buried by sea level rise, and a third of the country has been killed by
bioterror (maybe North Korea). Drones target citizens.
The novel describes how a girl Sarat falls into tribal
extremism.
