Description
A satirical exploration of the absurdities of the Cold War, this novel centres on the invention of Ice-Nine, a substance that can freeze water instantly and has catastrophic potential. The story follows John, who uncovers the legacy of his father's research and the impact it has on humanity. Through a series of bizarre characters and events, it critiques science, religion, and human folly while delving into themes of existentialism and the threat of nuclear destruction. This book offers a darkly humorous yet thought-provoking reflection on the human condition.
