Change

The Emberverse series or Change World is a series of post-apocalyptic alternate history novels written by S. M. Stirling. These novels depict events that follows a mysterious and sudden global event called ‘The Change’ that happened on March 17th, 1998 at 6:15PM Pacific Standard Time. This event altered the progress of history as well as every physical law by causing every form of electricity, gunpowder, explosive, steam power, internal combustion engine, and other high-energy-density technology upon the earth to cease working permanently. Willamette Valley, Oregon is where most action takes place, and the primary focus is on how people survive the undoing of six hundred years worth of technological achievement.
