When the US begins to start a war with Venezuela over the dwindling oil supply, food supplies run low and everyone seems to be looking out for their own survival; ‘Empty’ tells the stories of three teens trying to make their way through this adversity. This realistic setting for dystopian fiction sets the scene for our own world in a few years and many of the issues presented in ‘Empty’ can be seen on the news today.
