SUMMARY:Horror Book Club - Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep
DESCRIPTION:Philip K. Dick meets the Coen Brothers in this genre-bending near-future tech nightmare that is as bitingly funny as it is horrifically believable from the New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie. \nJoin us to discuss Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep on Sunday\, August 30 at 1pm. CLICK HERE TO LET US KNOW YOU’RE COMING \n\n\n\n\nMeet Julia Flang\, a twenty-something former semi-professional gamer\, living with her retired uncle\, and working two jobs she doesn’t like. Out of the blue\, her estranged mother\, a CFO for one of the world’s largest tech companies\, offers her a temp job with a payday Julia can’t refuse. One sham interview later\, she’s offered the job: to chaperone a man in a vegetative state—one with proprietary AI implanted in his head—from California to the East Coast. \nTo sum up in Julia’s own words: “You want me to remote control this dead dude across the country.” In a word\, yes. But he’s not dead dead. \nMeet a middle-aged man who wakes within a disorienting hellscape filled with monstrous grotesqueries. Worse than the fluid\, morphing reality in which he’s trapped\, he has no memory of who he is. He certainly doesn’t remember getting the rabbit tattoo on his arm. He only knows that he must find a certain person. Who? He can’t remember. \nUsing a cell phone modeled after a video game controller\, Julia fumblingly navigates the man she calls “Bernie” from the company campus and onto planes and through one of the largest airports in America. All the while\, the man endures an ever-changing and worsening nightmare that offers clues as to who he was—and who he must track down. And as their two lives intertwine\, Julia and Bernie become unlikely allies and fugitives on a collision course with reality. \nDead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep is a heady\, horrific genre-bender from one of the most groundbreaking voices in fiction today.
