Blueprints of the Afterlife - Ryan Boudinot

Descriere Blueprints of the Afterlife - Ryan Boudinot

\nFrom the wickedly talented (Boston Globe) and darkly funny (New York Times Book Review) Ryan Boudinot, Blueprints of the Afterlife is a tour de force. \nIt is the Afterlife. The end of the world is a distant, distorted memory called the Age of F***ed Up Shit. A sentient glacier has wiped out most of North America. Medical care is supplied by open-source nanotechnology, and human nervous systems can be hacked. \n \nAbby Fogg is a film archivist with a niggling feeling that her life is not really her own. She may be right. Al Skinner is a former mercenary for the Boeing Army, who's been dragging his war baggage behind him for nearly a century. Woo-jin Kan is a virtuoso dishwasher with the Hotel and Restaurant Management Olympics medals to prove it. Over them all hovers a mysterious man named Dirk Bickle, who sends all these characters to a full-scale replica of Manhattan under construction in Puget Sound. An ambitious novel that writes large the hopes and anxieties of our time--climate change, social strife, the depersonalization of the digital age--Blueprints of the Afterlife will establish Ryan Boudinot as an exceptional novelist of great daring. \n\n
