“Kai is a post-human woman who is technologically modified to survive the harsh realities of climate change and works as a "Janie" whose only job is to keep her wealthy clients alive in their simulation pods within Great America. Here, the blurred lines of a post-truth society threaten to destroy reality as we know it.
Great America in Dead World by David Agranoff is an experimental satire patterned after the writing formula used by the late science fiction author Philip K. Dick.
Agranoff's novel imagines a future dystopian world where, under the rule of President Supreme, global temperatures are on the rise, and the ultra-wealthy plug into a virtual Heaven while the working class keeps them alive in their pods. But when the global food supply begins to run out, what will keep Great America from devouring itself?”
