Mike McQuay’s Jitterberg
The story is set in 2155 on Earth ruled by an tyrant of Arab background who has rendered 90 percent of Earth’s surface uninhabitable by spreading a disease called Jitterberg. The story is set in New Orleans, which is still habitable. Amoral, or even immoral executives rule the world and fight for power. The rest of the population barely survives. The protagonist Olson fights to take control of the local Light of the World (LOW). The portrayal of Arabs and Muslims is rather cartoonish.
