The People Of Sparks

I am currently reading a book called The People of Sparks, the second book of Ember. In this novel, Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow just made it out of a doomed underground city called Ember. After they make it out, they have to coexist with a village called Sparks and eventually colonize another area. They are to stay with Sparks for six months and learn the skills needed to start a village. During these six months, the Emberties and the people of Sparks encounter conflict. This plot line takes place far beyond our time, where the earth became cramped. Three plagues spread over the world. War broke out over the leftover food and scarce farmland. Some of the people who survived the three plagues and four wars or "The Disaster" founded sparks. They grew strong over the years. Now they must aid the Emberties.

This book is related to science because the scenario is closely related to our situation on the Earth. Eventually, we will run out of farmland and become overcrowded on this planet considering the conditions we live with today. This novel also uncovers "history" such as "ancient" books and the marvelous electricity that the Emberties had before they left their precious city. The people also talk about ruins of cities and they have ox pulled trucks. After the years, people referred to fuel as "gasleen" because it was so long lost. I suspect there are many other ways this book relates to science, I just hadn't finished reading it yet.
