Thanks for coming to see me, Auntie; but by the time you read this, it will be too late. No one will have started to panic, yet; but in less than two months nothing will be the same. What came first, manufactured GMO printable Chicken or Egg Flu?
I wish it mattered. But let’s just say, maybe go back to wearing a mask, bathing in sanitizer, and avoid 3-D printed meat and eggs for a bit ...I did not kill my brother. I did quite the opposite, really.
It’s the near future. Stevie Henry is a Cherokee girl working at a museum in Texas, trying to save up enough money to go to college. The world around her is in a cycle of drought and superstorms, ice and fire, but… people get by. But it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
When a mysterious boy shows up at Stevie’s museum, saying that he’s from the future - and telling her about the apocalypse that is to come - she refuses to believe him. But soon Stevie will have no choice.
From the author of the Walter Award - winning Man Made Monsters comes a stunning work of Cherokee Futurism - an Apocalyptic-Time Travel-Love Story - which conjures our futures in startling life: the ones that we are headed towards, and the ones we can still work towards.
