{"product_id":"9781467884167","title":"Apocalypse Overture: \"Oil's up? What's the worst that can happen?\"","description":"By the mid-twenty-third-century fifteen billion people inhabit Earth. And they are all greedy. The gap between exponential demand for non-sustainable technology and non-renewable resource depletion is hitting crisis point. The competition between the global mega-corporations and cartels is getting increasingly ruthless and violent. Fossil fuels, uranium, raw materials and even food are worth killing for. Lackey governments cannot stop it. They don't want to - it's their riches as well. Bridging the gap is BARC, the vast, global renewable resources and sustainable technology group and a few others. But the gap is becoming untenable. Can a way be found to avoid the crisis before mere savage competition deteriorates into outright worldwide Resource Wars?","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126012362992,"sku":"9781467884167","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781467884167_p0.jpg?v=1763694868","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781467884167","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
