Kingdom of Sand and Cement explores the challenge of progress Saudi Arabia is faced with as this country rapidly transforms from a conservative and tribal desert culture to an influential world power. It is a society in the midst of a profound change; a society that in less than a century went from living in mud buildings to commencing work on the world's tallest skyscraper. There exists here a certain, but fleeting, clarity to societal conditions, signaling at this moment in time the country's grand aspirations as clearly as its grand failures.
