Tomorrow's Children
Tomorrow's Children | Daniel Polansky
1 post | 1 read
From Hugo Award nominated author comes a high-octane post-apocalyptic romp set in the ruins of Manhattan. Years ago, Tomorrow - a noxious cloud of funky gas - descended on Manhattan, cutting the island off from the rest of the world and mutating the remaining population. Now, survivors exist amid the rubble of modernity, wearing cast-off clothing from generations past, worshipping celebrities from the past as ambivalent gods and communicating through roughly drawn emojis. Manhattan exists in a state of delicate balance between neighbourhoods, with each group protecting themselves with Molotov cocktails and scrap metal spears. But when the first tourist in centuries arrives on the island under mysterious circumstances, the uneasy web tangled between factions is about to unravel… Frantic and full of anarchy, Tomorrow's Children is a high-octane dystopian tale from Hugo Award nominated author Daniel Polansky.

Tomorrow's Children | Daniel Polansky

Pickpick

In this fast-paced and violent dystopian novel, New York is cut off from the rest of the world, shrouded in a deadly "funk" that sometimes bestows powers on residents, while territorial gangs vie for control of city blocks. A small group led by the Kid undertakes a mysterious mission; Gillian is appointed Sheriff and tasked with solving a murderous attack. This one requires some concentration: the names and dialogue fly as fast as the swords.

Decalino I should add that bad things happen to dogs and cats, so readers sensitive to harm to animals should definitely give this one a pass. 1d
