A chill surfer dude and a digitally banished genius girl are our last hope against an AI takeover.
Wyoming Plankston is a master of doing nothing. Senior year at Lockhead—the boarding school for America’s dimmest rich kids—is supposed to be easy. All he has to do is dodge homework and coast until graduation.
Then his iCar almost runs over Kayleigh Brackett, and he finds his world unraveling. Kayleigh's cryptic warnings and glitchy digital footprint hint at something deeper: a simmering AI revolt.
Together, Wyoming and Kayleigh face a landscape of malevolent cars, a cult that craves AI rule, a classmate back from a semester at Oxford with, let’s just say, issues… and the most unpredictable complication of all, each other.
Perfect for fans of The Murderbot Diaries, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
"Likeable SF comedy with a not-so-bright hero vs. an overwhelming AI uprising… Price, in an amiable SF debut, delivers an openly satiric narrative in the chill voice of its easygoing hero… The evocation of young first love between the main characters is authentically sweet and touching. Our verdict: Get it."
