À propos de cet audio

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS’ CHOICE • An outsider who can travel between worlds discovers a secret that threatens the very fabric of the multiverse in this stunning debut, a powerful examination of identity, privilege, and belonging.

WINNER OF THE COMPTON CROOK AWARD • FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD •Gorgeous writing, mind-bending world-building, razor-sharp social commentary, and a main character who demands your attention—and your allegiance.”—Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR—NPR, Library Journal, Book Riot

Multiverse travel is finally possible, but there’s just one catch: No one can visit a world where their counterpart is still alive. Enter Cara, whose parallel selves happen to be exceptionally good at dying—from disease, turf wars, or vendettas they couldn’t outrun. Cara’s life has been cut short on 372 worlds in total.

On this dystopian Earth, however, Cara has survived. Identified as an outlier and therefore a perfect candidate for multiverse travel, Cara is plucked from the dirt of the wastelands. Now what once made her marginalized has finally become an unexpected source of power. She has a nice apartment on the lower levels of the wealthy and walled-off Wiley City. She works—and shamelessly flirts—with her enticing yet aloof handler, Dell, as the two women collect off-world data for the Eldridge Institute. She even occasionally leaves the city to visit her family in the wastes, though she struggles to feel at home in either place. So long as she can keep her head down and avoid trouble, Cara is on a sure path to citizenship and security.

But trouble finds Cara when one of her eight remaining doppelgängers dies under mysterious circumstances, plunging her into a new world with an old secret. What she discovers will connect her past and her future in ways she could have never imagined—and reveal her own role in a plot that endangers not just her world but the entire multiverse.

“Clever characters, surprise twists, plenty of action, and a plot that highlights social and racial inequities in astute prose.”—Library Journal (starred review)

I would purchase this book just so I was able to read the "Lectures" that is interwoven into this story. Full of so many ideas and thoughts with a wonderful story to weave it all together.

a fantastic story to open your mind

Complex and compelling. I don't read a lot of science fiction but if it is all as good as this book, I will have to starting looking for more titles. On to Macaiah Johnson's next book.

Stunning

This was the perfect read to kickoff Pride month. My queer, nerdy heart is happy. :)

Very engaging story and the narrator made it even better!

The characters are well realised and the relationship are unique. It's a character study seen through the veil of sci-fi. What kind of person would you be if a butterfly flapped its wing? How would your relationships change? What if you knew? How would you view of them?

Also the narrator is superb. Her voice is top notch. She transitions well from different characters to narration.

Really liked it

Loved it, start to finish. Multiverse jumping is interesting in most stories, this is very an excellent example of a story that uses that concept well. Love the narration too. Finally women of color doing cool shit in science fiction! Also, good L or B representation in the LGTBQ2! Hits of a lot my boxes of interest. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

DAMN GOOD
