What this book is about
In the sequel to An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, April May is gone — but the Carls are still here, and the social and technological movements April set in motion have continued evolving. April's friends and colleagues are still trying to understand what happened to her, what the alien infrastructure actually is, and what it's being used for by people who are very interested in power. Hank Green's follow-up is faster and darker than its predecessor, a novel about how quickly a genuine connection gets turned into a weapon by the people who want to control narrative.
