About the book
The Rift is a 1999 science fiction novel by American writer Walter Jon Williams. It concerns the effects of a massive earthquake in the US states of Missouri, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Largely using the 1811-12 New Madrid earthquake as a base, he depicts the breakdown of infrastructure that would result if an earthquake of equal magnitude were to occur today.
The title of the novel is a double-entendre. It is a reference to the theory that the New Madrid quake was the result of a failed "rifting" of North America, but also to the deep racial and social divides that are portrayed throughout the story.
