Francis Conway is Swill - one of the 90%. Swill must subsist on the inadequate charities of the state. In the year 2041, life is already difficult and is rapidly becoming impossible for young Francis and his people.

THE SEA AND SUMMER, published in the US as THE DROWNING TOWERS, is George Turner's masterful exploration of the effects of climate change in the not-too-distant future. Comparable to J.G. Ballard's THE DROWNED WORLD, it was shortlisted for the NEBULA AWARD and won the ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD.
