Angr: second edition - Hardcover

by Brent Olson (Author)

What if the only way to keep from killing yourself is to save the world?

The root of the word "anger" comes from the ancient Scandinavian word "angr," which means "grief at the wrongness in the world." An unimportant man in a small place, devastated by the wrongness in the world and frustrated by the blindness of those in charge, begins a personal crusade to set things right. His actions, initially small, start a chain reaction that spreads from his community on the edge of the prairie to reverberate around the world.A retired genius, a one-handed Marine, a melancholy scientist, and a wife with a low tolerance for nonsense aid him. Though they share little beyond clear thinking and a bias towards action, together they strive to make a difference. When you can't do everything, you do what you can.
