A NATIONAL BESTSELLER – A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK – A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
In a dazzling ode to human inventiveness and the desire for meaning, four lives are entangled across time by one unfinished story, saved to a floppy disk in the 1980s and destined to ripple across the centuries.
“A joy … and a hauntingly beautiful exploration of what makes us human. It kept me up all night!” — MADELINE MILLER, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Song of Achilles
“A big, bold, ecstatic world–full of heart and wonder.” — RUTH OZEKI, New York Times bestselling author of A Tale for the Time Being
1983. Becks is nineteen, blasting her Walkman, and hiding from the fact that her beloved uncle, and the only person who understood her, is dead. Luckily, he left her a half-finished video game to complete–one last collaboration to find her way out of loneliness.
2078. Dr. Portman works at the intersection of artificial intelligence and robotics, wrestling with her responsibility to Earth’s precarious future. But increasingly, it seems an exceptional project may transcend everything she believed to be possible…
2586. After decades of life on the sea, Yesiko knows a scavenger’s work is rife with moral compromise. Yet when a long-lost piece of technology walks aboard her ship, she is set on a path toward a sacrifice even she may be unwilling to make.
Linking these women across the centuries is a chain reaction of love, longing, and creativity that reveals our deep interconnectedness. Clear-eyed and hopeful, Homebound imagines how future generations will find meaning in the things we leave behind.
