conversations.value: The Burning World (novel): In contrast to Ballard's earlier novel The Drowned World, The Burning World describes a world in which water is scarce.\nAfter an extensive drought, rivers have turned to trickles and the earth to dust, causing the world's populations to head toward the oceans in search of water.\nThe drought is caused by industrial waste flushed into the ocean, which form an oxygen-permeable barrier of saturated long-chain polymers that prevents evaporation and destroys the precipitation cycle.
