A History of the Future is the third thrilling novel in Kunstler's "World Made By Hand" series, an exploration of family and morality as played out in the small town of Union Grove.

Following the catastrophes of the twenty-first century--the pandemics, the environmental disaster, the end of oil, the ensuing chaos--people are doing whatever they can to get by and pursuing a simpler and sometimes happier existence. In little Union Grove in upstate New York, the townspeople are preparing for Christmas. Without the consumerist shopping frenzy that dogged the holidays of the previous age, the season has become a time to focus on family and loved ones. It is a stormy Christmas Eve when Robert Earle's son Daniel arrives back from his two years of sojourning throughout what is left of the United States. He collapses from exhaustion and illness, but as he recovers tells the story of the break-up of the nation into three uneasy independent regions and his journey into the dark heart of the New Foxfire Republic centered in Tennesee and led by the female evangelical despot, Loving Morrow. In the background, Union Grove has been shocked by the Christmas Eve double murder by a young mother, in the throes of illness, of her husband and infant son. Town magistrate Stephen Bullock is in a hanging mood.

A History of the Future is attention-grabbing and provocative, but also lyrical, tender, and comic--a vision of a future of America that is becoming more and more convincing and perhaps even desirable with each passing day.

The ultimate "cozy" blanket—thick, soft, and incredibly warm
Color: 03- Tie Dye Black, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
his Bedsure blanket is the definition of comfort. One side features a velvety smooth faux fur while the other is a thick, plush Sherpa fleece. It’s significantly heavier than a standard throw, making it perfect for cold nights. The black color is deep and rich, and I’ve been impressed that it doesn't shed at all, even after several washes. It drapes beautifully over a couch or bed and adds an instant touch of luxury to the room. It’s the perfect size (50"x60") for curling up with a book or a movie.

Buy this now!!!
Color: 15- Teal, Size: King (108" X 90")
This is probably one of my favorite purchases from Amazon. I have washed it at least 10 times so far and it still looks the same as when I bought it. It is so soft and snuggly I love it so much. The color is beautiful the furry side is soft and the bottom side has Sherpa on it which is also soft. It's not super heavy and it keeps me warm and it fits my king size bed perfectly. It is such a good value for the money and the quality of it is amazing do yourself a favor and purchase this you will get the best Sleep Quality of your life I swear. I wish I would have had this years ago I don't know what took me so long to find it I have bought several blankets and ended up throwing them away because I did not like the way they felt. This one will be a keeper.

Soft and comfy!
Color: 06- Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
The material is very soft and thick, but not to the point where it makes me feel hot. The only reason why it hasn't received five stars is because I ordered the twin size thinking it would give me good coverage (and I didn't want to order a bigger size), but it's just an inch or two too small for my body. But it's not a big deal. I love the quality too! You will get your money's worth for sure.
