Discover "Afterland," Lauren Beukes's new novel, a disturbing glimpse into the near future of Cape Town. Here, four broken individuals try to find their way before a major change hits them.
Kendra, an art student without a degree, finds herself in a nanotechnology marketing program. Lerato, an ambitious young person who contracted HIV as a baby, hatches a plan to leave her corporate employer. Tendeka, a fiery activist, grows increasingly intransigent, and Toby, a savvy blogger, discovers there's much more to the video games he earns money from than he initially thought.
These damaged individuals struggle to create a life in an uncertain future. Their paths cross as events lead them to profound and unexpected changes.
With praise from well-known authors: "Beukes tackles slightly surreal themes in a very realistic way. I love it," says Gillian Flynn. And from George R.R. Martin: "A great talent."
“You don't have to be a science fiction fan to enjoy this fast-paced and original novel,” says the Guardian.
