What this book is about
Rose Franklin fell into a hole as a child and was found in a giant metal hand of unknown origin. Now a physicist, she's recruited to investigate other body parts of what may be a giant robot buried across the Earth. Told through interviews and documents, Neuvel's debut SF novel is a clever, propulsive mystery of ancient technology.
