HTML:<b>A Most Anticipated Book for <i>The</i> <i>New York Times</i>, <i>The</i> <i>Washington Post</i>, <i>Time</i>, Goodreads, <i>LitHub</i>, and <i>Book Riot</i></b><br /> <b>A Best Book of the Summer for <i>Esquire, Electric Lit,</i> and <i>Town & Country</i></b><br /> <b>A <i>People</i> Book of the Week</b><br /> <br /> <b>From "one of our most profound writers of speculative fiction" (<i>The New York Times</i>), this "tense dystopian thriller" (<i>Time</i>) and "tender portrait of love and care in an uncertain world" (<i>Esquire</i>) is an urgent and unflinching portrayal of a woman's fight for her family's security in a world shaped by global warming and rapid technological progress.</b><br /> In a near-future world addled by climate change and inhabited by intelligent robots called "hums," May loses her job to artificial intelligence. Desperate to resolve her family's debt and secure their future for another few months, she becomes a guinea pig in an experiment that alters her face so it cannot be recognized by surveillance.<br /> <br /> Seeking reprieve from her recent hardships and her family's addiction to their devices, May splurges on passes for her family to spend three nights respite in the Botanical Garden: a rare green refuge where forests, streams, and animals still thrive. But when her children come under threat, May is forced to put her trust in a hum of uncertain motives to save her family.<br /> <br /> Written with "precision, insight, sensitivity, and compassion" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, starred review), <i>Hum</i> is a "striking new work of dystopian fiction" (<i>Vogue</i>) that delves into the complexities of marriage, motherhood, and selfhood in a world compromised by global warming and dizzying technological advancement, a world of both dystopian and utopian possibilities.
