Description
What begins as a darkly comic internet oddity—people claiming that standing still long enough will transform them into trees—quickly turns into a mystery with real consequences. As Bren and Caelyn’s lives stall, their discovery of the “arborescence” movement pulls them into a world where missing people reappear as living growth, and where cities seem to be quietly changing around them. Told with wry humor and tender insight, this strange, thriller-leaning fable explores whether transformation is salvation or surrender, and what it means to remain human when the planet is in crisis. At its heart, the novel is a celebration of trees and a warning about the costs of our choices—asking readers to consider hope, agency, and the courage to “stand still” in more ways than one.
