Book Overview
From the bestselling author of Warm Bodies comes a new story of connection--to technology and to each other--that asks how hard we're willing to fight to stay human. A genre-defying novel for fans of Neuromancer, Klara and the Sun, and speculative fiction with a heart.
All Robin wants is to share her new music--and for it to sell well enough to keep her out of poverty for another year. She knows she's made something beautiful, something the world might love. But the world she knows is about to change.
The Global Mesh has come online, a revolutionary network that covers the planet in "infinite connection," spawning a new age of disposable devices and virtual experiences. Everything will be fast, easy, and cheap, for everyone. The only price for this utopia of convenience? A dissonant, maddening hum. Everywhere, all the time. And it's getting louder.
As the noise rises and society mutates around it, Robin finds herself struggling to hold on--not just to her art but to her sanity--in a world so blinded by progress it can't see what it's leaving behind. Someone has to do something radical. And Robin is starting to worry it might be her.
