In Amnesia Moon, Jonathan Lethem imagines an American wasteland where the remaining small pockets of civilization are centered around strong, psychic personalities who acquired their powers after a forgotten cataclysm. His survivors siphon gas and hoard canned food, and they live in cars and abandoned movie theaters. The story follows Chaos, a reluctant psychic, and his small mutant charge as they search for something new and sustainable in the desolation.
