Aprašymas
Prepare yourself for an unconventional approach to a provocative novel with a poetic vision.
In the post-monetary world, people are coded as "valid" or "invalid" - homeless, no citizenship, no access to goods or services. One day, a glitch in the global information system suddenly switches everyone's coding, and people instantly lose or gain everything. Beginning with veteran Sequoia, whose switch from valid to invalid thrusts her into poverty and homelessness, three women struggle with this massive shift in their lives, challenging systemic assumptions about class, age, gender, and migration along the way.
A 21st century story revealed in the poetry of women determined to make themselves at home-at home in the body, in the city, in the universe, in a rapidly changing world. The future is now-young and old, rich and poor, male and female, and everything in between-all must question themselves to reimagine life and work and reclaim their humanity.
"This innovative novel takes us to the edge of what it means to be human. Ntoso challenges us to grapple with the truth about the world we inhabit. In Ntoso, we find a writer that has the courage to pull the curtain away and show us the harsh realities of what it means to be unseen." -Donnelle McGee, author of Ghost Man
