About
AT THE END OF THE WORLD, THE SYNTHETIC KILLING MACHINES WILL BE THE LEAST OF OUR PROBLEMS.
When Vida awakes in an underground bunker with no memory of her previous life, you probably start thinking "I've heard this story before". I assure you. You haven't. Told through two storylines set ten years apart, Por Vida showcases the events before and after the Machine War.
In 2035, Sepideh Ahmadi is a rising Hollywood star, but when her girlfriend develops a terminal illness, they're both forced into synthetic bodies to stay together. As a mechanical woman, Sepideh finds the world isn't quite the same anymore. Between crazed fans and her failing relationship, will Sepideh even have the time to figure out who she has become?
In 2045, Vida awakes in a strange bed without her memories. Máquinas have invaded from the MX, and most of the country is gone. A man tells her she is safe in his survival bunker. When the memories start coming back, Vida discovers her world doesn't match the stories she's being fed.
Who are we without our bodies? Who are we without our memories? How many explosions can fit in one novel?
Answers to these questions and more await you in the fourth Vinestead novel from Daniel Verastiqui.
