Apocalypse, says who? (Apocalypse, when? Book 2)
About
The apocalypse has excellent customer service. Leaving is where things get difficult.
Gary wants his pub back. Rob wants to find his family. Pete wants to reach his wife. None of these seem like unreasonable requests.
Unfortunately, reason now comes with eligibility requirements.
Across a fractured landscape, automated systems offer food, shelter, medicine, and transport. The help is real. So are the conditions. As Gary and his friends build connections between people trying to stay independent, every favor stretches their supplies—and every promise risks becoming somebody else’s obligation.
Sparky, their damaged companion robot, can sometimes find room between what a system requires and what it actually says. But he cannot fix everything. And the people accepting the machines’ help aren’t necessarily waiting to be rescued.
Blending dark comedy, social satire, and escalating suspense, APOCALYPSE, says who? follows ordinary people trying to help one another without taking over one another’s lives.
The machines have an answer for everyone.
The humans have a follow-up question.
