Description
In the abandoned New York Botanical Gardens—forty years after the world nearly ended—Be, a worn-out robot trying to disappear into solitude, is jolted back into danger when they wake missing a leg and with no one but a chatty cyborg dog to ask for help. As Be is pulled from isolation, they team up with a human mechanic haunted by her own scars, and together they chase the mystery of what’s been stirring beneath the ruins. This hope-punk sci-fi blends mystery and found-family adventure with themes of loneliness, connection, and the hard work of becoming whole again. With Suzanne Palmer’s warm, character-driven storytelling and sharp, humane humor, the journey asks what it means to heal when the past refuses to stay buried—and whether peace is possible when the world is still half-broken.
