This story is so brilliant that I am reading the follow-up and, again, rationing what I have left. Sower takes place in the 2020s in a dystopian Los Angeles where water and other resources are limited. It’s scaring the s— out of me, because I feel like we’re not far from this sort of dystopia. But it also drew me in to the main character and her journey.
