The infant mortality rate is soaring, and birth defects, new diseases, and physical ailments of all kinds abound. The water is undrinkable—unless you’re poor and have no choice. Large corporations fighting over profits from gas masks, drinking water, and clean food tower over an ineffectual, corrupt government.   Environmentalist Austin Train is on the run. The “trainites,” a group of violent environmental activists, want him to lead their movement; the government wants him dead; and the media demands amusement. But Train just wants to survive.   More than a novel of science fiction, \u003ci\u003eThe Sheep Look Up\u003c\/i\u003e is a skillful and frightening political and social commentary that takes its place next to other remarkable works of dystopian literature, such as Margaret Atwood’s \u003ci\u003eThe Handmaid’s Tale\u003c\/i\u003e , Aldous Huxley’s \u003ci\u003eBrave New World\u003c\/i\u003e , Ray Bradbury’s \u003ci\u003eFahrenheit 451\u003c\/i\u003e , and George Orwell’s \u003ci\u003e1984\u003c\/i\u003e.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Road Integrated Media LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061805236464,"sku":"9781504032636","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781504032636_p0.jpg?v=1763710182","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781504032636","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
