Climate Change Leaves Family Without Desire for Change

An affluent family remains complacent in Santa Barbara as the planet's resources dwindle and insects become a popular food source.
TC Boyle's latest novel explores a world grappling with depleted resources and a "shifting baseline" caused by climate change.
The story follows an affluent Santa Barbara family who fail to realize the severity of the crumbling natural world around them.
While the satirical novel provides mild amusement,it feels unoriginal for Boyle and adds little to his repertoire.
The 384-page novel retails for $30 and is published by Liveright Books.
