Présentation de l'éditeur

As the new millennium dawns, the world is a sorry place: war, disease,terrorism, political strife, all exacerbated by the planet’s massive and growing population. God, fed up with mankind once again, decides that another housecleaning is in order. But no more floods, no wiping out the entire human race this time (He promised not to do that again). He decides instead on a high-tech approach appropriate to the era: Noah Archer, an unassuming risk analyst, is assigned to bring the population down to a more manageable size by selectively eliminating the worst of mankind, with the help of a divinely created computer program, and a shape-shifting archangel named Wong. “Cleaning House” is a sharply drawn, often hilarious commentary on overpopulation, divine retribution, and the state of civilization as the 21st century begins. It wanders the world from the Vatican to China, India, the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, the Philippines, and just about everywhere in between, encountering a fascinating cast of characters along the way.
