About
" With his signature precise, erudite sentences, [Greenwood] brings humor and lightness to otherwise bleak portraits of what it means to be a person. He' s a tightrope walker crossing a chasm of loneliness, doing cartwheels." - Kate Reed Petty, BOMB Magazine
While social and environmental woes roil the world below, Chris Curtis, lesser cofounder of tech giant eddy, studies clouds and chats with an emulation of his not really dead father on eddy's luxury blimp. As it approaches a summit of world powers, Chris is forced from the swimming pool into the shoes of his revered, and really dead, cofounder.
At least his new intern appreciates the sunrises, and doesn't seem to be of the entitled intern class, even if her motives aboard appear increasingly alarming. Her name is Zoraida, and her closest friend is an emulation of her former self.
Together, they become embroiled in a mass protest movement, revealing that underneath Zoraida's desire to change the world and Chris's desire to withdraw from it lies the collective loneliness of a society in which the deepest human connection has become a commodity, and deepest human weirdness may be our best hope.
