Still Lost: Tales from 2080

Description

Hyper advanced, sarcastic aliens have invaded Earth … a funny, super smart work of science fiction from a thrilling new voice – Andy Weir meets qntm From the beloved creator of the wildly popular Sam O’Nella Academy YouTube channel, Still Lost: Tales from the Year 2080 offers an irreverent, wry and timely look at the not-so-distant future. Set in a world that is not really dystopian, or utopian, but just ‘topian’, the book follows the lives of its denizens in a strange new status quo. Our visitors have solved all existential threats – no climate change, no nuclear missiles, no singularity crisis. And yet, in crisis we remain. We meet a biologist grad student who tries to get her big break from visits with an alien sex worker. We encounter a baboon with human intelligence who live streams his life, only to be cyberbullied. We come across scientists who discover the shocking truth about grass. And we are introduced to a young man who must save his own life from the music that has taken him hostage. From the brilliant mind of Sam A. Miller, Still Lost bends reality just enough for it to become a mirror while taking its readers on a daring ride. Often funny and always profound, this ultra-timely, inter-connected work feasts on the follies and earnest absurdities of humanity, and marks the arrival of a major new voice in science fiction.
