A faulty gas line sparks a chain reaction of chaos in Mark Miodownik's "It's a Gas." When a small-town mechanic discovers a dangerous leak, his attempts to fix it accidentally set off a devastating explosion. Now, the town's residents must band together to contain the fallout - both literal and figurative - as the crisis spirals out of control. With acerbic wit and biting social commentary, Miodownik explores the fragility of modern life and the power of community in the face of disaster.
