A computer program etched into the atmosphere has a story to tell, the story of two people, of a city lost to chaos, of survival and love. The program's data, however, has been corrupted. As the novel's characters struggle to survive apocalypse, they are sustained and challenged by the demands of love in a shattered world both haunted and dangerous.

#BookReport
Finished two lighter books this week completely mood reads as I didn‘t read anything I had planned for the week. I did enjoy both though.

#WeeklyForecast
My goal is to get at least 100 pages further into OaFK and start the tagged on my commute.

This is the August pick for @swordandlaser and I polished it off while I cleaned the house. The problem is I can't really discuss this book without spoiling it so I will say it is unique, has apocalypse and broken code, and that's as vague as I can go. I found it in #hoopla from the public library and can't wait to go post spoilery discussion in the Goodreads threads!

It's about love, loss, and apocalypse in a world where things a reader expects to be stable are not. Between chapters, characters change gender and even their fundamental relationships: from lovers to siblings to parent and child. What doesn't change is change itself, and loss; reality itself must eventually be questioned. I found the narrative technique intriguing, but what won me over was the careful, vivid prose. Recommended.
