For many years, environmental catastrophe has been discounted as myth or propaganda. However, the science is now proven. Tides are rising and storms are brewing. Soon, the oil must run out... In a suburban home on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, a small family is fraying at the seams, and on the brink of a collapse of their own. Imprisoned by grief, Arnold witnesses the inexorable downwards spiral of his neighbourhood on television, from the confines of his living room. Fifty years on, Noah - a child in our times - is thrust into a dense, compact Britain he hardly recognizes, adrift in a society in the throes of transformation. Years later, the experiment falters and Nature threatens to take over entirely. Noah's daughter Eve faces unimaginable consequences and her will to survive is tested to its limits... THE FALL OF MAN begins in the Britain of today. Three successive generations struggle to exist in a future rife with change. Their story chronicles a series of cataclysmic, global events, from the perspective of an all-too-human family.
