The book "Silent Spring" that was written by Rachel Carson started with chapter one titled "A Fable for Tomorrow." At the end of the chapter, she revealed that "This town does not actually exist, but it might easily have a thousand counterparts in America or elsewhere in the world. I know of no community that has experienced all the misfortunes I describe. Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them."
Hence, It is FALSE that Carson's "Silent Spring" begins with an anecdote about a real-life town.
