A genre-bending near-future tech nightmare that is as bitingly funny as it is horrifically believable, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World.
Meet Julia Flang, a twenty-something former professional gamer, living with her retired uncle, and working two jobs she doesnt like. Out of the blue, her estranged mother, a CFO for one of the worlds largest tech companies, offers her a temp job with a payday Julia cant refuse. One sham interview later, shes offered the job: to chaperone a man in a vegetative state from California to the East Coast. But hes not dead dead: he has an AI mind implanted in his head
Meet a middle-aged man who wakes within a disorienting hellscape filled with monstrous grotesqueries. Worse than the fluid, morphing reality in which hes trapped, he has no memory of who he is. He certainly doesnt remember getting the rabbit tattoo on his arm. He only knows that he must find a certain person. Who? He cant remember.
Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep is a heady, terrifying genre-bender from one of the most groundbreaking voices in fiction today, exploring the I in AI.
