The summary of this book doesn't come close to explaining what is done with the premise.

But this is not to overly disparage Emergency. It's a very unique, intelligent concept and an ambitious exercise in fiction writing; I've never read a novel quite like it. I found it fascinating and, for all that it occasionally confused or disorientated me, utterly compelling.

The evocation of the pastoral genre leads me to recommend Small Memories by Jose Saramago for further reading.
