Synopsis
Sixty years after environmental collapse and catastrophic policy fractured the United States into secessionist territories, Truckee Wallace wants nothing more than an ordinary life in his Crunchtown factory job. Instead the President taps him for an urgent, bizarre mission: escort a talking goat across the wreckage of the former USA. Accompanied by an android longing for humanity and a lobotomized ex-convict, Truckee crosses a landscape of body pickers, Elvis cults, and VR addicts on a journey that's equal parts absurd and apocalyptic.
Reed King's satirical road-trip novel imagines America's collapse with equal parts humor and dread, filtering real anxieties about climate and technology through a wildly inventive, darkly comic lens.
