My name is Hope Arden, and you won't know who I am. But we've met before-a thousand times.
It
started
when
I
was
sixteen
years
old.
A
father
forgetting
to
drive
me
to
school.
A
mother
setting
the
table
for
three,
not
four.
A
friend
who
looks
at
me
and
sees
a
stranger.
No
matter
what
I
do,
the
words
I
say,
the
crimes
I
commit,
you
will
never
remember
who
I
am.
That
makes
my
life
difficult.
It
also
makes
me
dangerous.
The
Sudden
Appearance
of
Hopeis
the
tale
of
a
girl
no
one
remembers,
yet
her
story
will
stay
with
you
forever.

Recenzii
"Beautifully
written,
with
a
protagonist
who
is
both
tragic
and
heroic,
the
novel
is
remarkably
powerful
and
deeply
memorable,
the
latest
in
a
string
of
terrific
books
from
this
newly
emerged
star
in
the
genre-blending
universe."
—Booklist (starred review)
"The experience of sitting with it, sinking into it, aching along with Hope as her loneliness shapes and breaks her, was wonderful, painful and moving."
—NPR
"North has established a reputation for tense, dense, science fiction/fantasy-inflected thrillers that defy facile explanations... Simultaneously a tense conspiracy caper, a haunting meditation on loneliness and a brutally cynical examination of modern media... Well-paced, brilliant and balanced."—New York Times
"[T]his is an inquiry into modern human existence. Philosophical questions are threaded through the electrifying plot. Even the protagonist's darkness alias is "why." Reminiscent of William Gibson's best work, North leads us into a brilliant world of elite but mindless humans, and shines a sharp light on what a rare gift it is to be able to think for oneself and what the consequences of it are."—RT Book Reviews
"Startlingly original"—Independent (UK)
"North isn't here to lecture you or rehash tired debates. Instead, she's produced something that feels at the same time absent and necessary: Smart, compelling fiction about this future that asks us to outsource ever-larger chunks of our selves to the cloud."
—Tech Insider
"This is a book which is incredibly compelling, and incredibly heartbreaking at times. I could not put it down."
