Walkaway: A Novel

"“The point of Walkaway is the first days of a better nation,” says one of Cory Doctorow’s characters in this brilliant, occasionally life-altering new novel. Walkaway is the story of what comes after the slow-burn apocalypse we all secretly fear is coming – how it will work, how it will all go wrong and how it will get made right again with drones, wet printers and elbow grease. It’s like the Genesis story of a world not yet here, but maybe dangerously close. It is world-as-lesson-as-world. An anti-Atlas Shrugged. An origami argument that unfolds into a novel that presents roughly 10,000 new, mind-bending and ground-breaking ideas per page and stitches them all together (with drone fights, robots and lots of sex) into one of the most important and hopeful books of the year."
