A post-apocalyptic tale of family, hope and survival from a multi-award-winning author
“We love the sound of this sci-fi adventure which grapples with some of the issues our young people are facing every day in an accessible, entertaining and thought-provoking way. What does it mean to be human? What about the role of technology, AI and progress? What will the future look like? A great family read that is sure to spark discussion and debate.”
~Sarah
Jen and her father are making their way across a deserted world after a technological collapse brought civilization as people knew it to an end. The Flood took out all all technology, but also many people who were connected to a central information hive. Those who are left behind must find each other and build a new life. But Jen's father isn't related to her by blood – he is a human-appearing AI, a glitch in the system, and a secret that must be kept, even from those she wishes she could trust...
