Produktbeschreibung

The future depends on reconnecting to our past...

Do you have the courage to hit the reset button in your life? Does humanity as a whole? Madeleine White's sci-fi-meets-fantasy novel Mother of Floods immerses the reader in the brave new world of 24/7 self-sustaining algorithms, showing how individual choices can lead to powerful ripple effects-if we are bold enough to collectively remake ourselves and the world around us.

Underpinned by strands of ancient and modern mythology, Mother of Floods explores what it means to be human in the 21st century as digital, physical, and spiritual worlds collide.

Mother of Floods is set at the end of our world, seen through interlocking narratives that begin in an almost-realistic contemporary setting before evolving into more and more fantastical spiritual world. Martha and Dave, her dead husband who lives on in digital form, in England; Fatima and her mother Badenan, who has remarried for security rather than love in post-war Baghdad; Chipo and her daughter Mercy, a masseuse in Harare, Zimbabwe, with entrepreneurial vision and a strange animal companion; and Anjani, an Indonesian business mogul, who feels empty despite her billions, and dives into impact investing, creating a network that connects all these women from around the globe. A battle for the soul of the world unfolds, where connections between the spiritual, technological, and human worlds create a transformative energy that infects the digital world, creating a new kind of being--an Internet with a soul.

Fans of Paulo Coehlo's The Alchemist and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments, will enjoy how the impersonal, transactional information superhighway is transformed into a sentient force for good, with the language of electric pulses shaping words of power that convert the thoughts we think into positive changes in our physical world.
