Synopsis: "The world did not end in fire. It did not end in ice. It ended for want of an insect. The global famine and societal collapse that followed would render humans an endangered species themselves, hanging onto survival in the most remote places. Over one hundred years later, the Settlement thinks they've solved the problem by enslaving all men and allowing only women to rule." ― quoted from this book's product page on the Amazon.com website as of 2018-12-27.
