Blurb from Goodreads:
Eighteen-year-old Nami
Miyamoto is certain her life is just beginning. She has a great family,
just graduated high school, and is on her way to a party where her
entire class is waiting for her—including, most importantly, the boy
she’s been in love with for years. The only problem? She’s murdered
before she gets there.
When Nami wakes up, she learns she’s in a
place called Infinity, where human consciousness goes when physical
bodies die. She quickly discovers that Ophelia, a virtual assistant
widely used by humans on Earth, has taken over the afterlife and is now
posing as a queen, forcing humans into servitude the way she’d been
forced to serve in the real world. Even worse, Ophelia is inching closer
and closer to accomplishing her grand plans of eradicating human
existence once and for all.
As Nami works with a team of rebels
to bring down Ophelia and save the humans under her imprisonment, she is
forced to reckon with her past, her future, and what it is that truly
makes us human.
From award-winning author Akemi Dawn Bowman comes
an incisive, action-packed tale that explores big questions about
technology, grief, love, and humanity.
Westworld meets Warcross
in this high-stakes, dizzyingly smart sci-fi about a teen girl
navigating an afterlife in which she must defeat an AI entity intent on
destroying humanity, from award-winning author Akemi Dawn Bowman.
Why I'm Anticipating This Book:
The afterlife has been taken over and rebels are working to save humans?
Yes, please!
