Empty gives a look into what our future could be without oil. A nonrenewable source we are rely heavily upon.
Empty is full of war, shortages, riots, global warming and the fight to stave alive. The characters are well done and true to life.
Weyn does a fairly good job at crafting a well developed and interesting story.

A dystopic look at what happens to one American town when all the fossil fuels run out...
Civilization has just run out.
It's the future - the very near future - and the fossil fuels are running out. No gas. No oil. Which means no driving. No heat. Supermarkets are empty. Malls have shut down. Life has just become more local than we ever knew it could be.
Nobody expected the end to come this fast. And in the small town of Sage Valley, decisions that once seemed easy are quickly becoming matters of life and death. There is hope - there has to be hope - but there are also sacrifices that need to be made, and a society that needs to be rethought. Niki, Tom, and Gwen may find what they need to survive. But their lives are never going to be the same again.
