Book
What we can know / Ian McEwan.
One hundred years in the future, much of the western world has been submerged by rising seas following a nuclear accident. Thomas Metcalfe, a scholar and researcher, longs for the early 21st century as he chases the ghost of a poem written in 2014. When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the poem's discovery, a story is revealed of entangled loves and a brutal crime that destroy his assumptions about people he thought he knew intimately well.
