Overview
āWoven together out of the strands of myth, science fiction, and ecological warning, Matt BellāsĀ AppleseedĀ is as urgent as it is audacious.ā āKelly Link, Pulitzer Prize finalist and national bestselling author of Get in Trouble
A ābreathtaking novel of ideas unlike anything youāve ever readā (Esquire) from Young Lions Fiction Awardāfinalist Matt Bell, a breakout book that explores climate change, manifest destiny, humanityās unchecked exploitation of natural resources, and the small but powerful magic contained within every single apple.Ā
In eighteenth-century Ohio, two brothers travel into the wooded frontier, planting apple orchards from which they plan to profit in the years to come. As they remake the wilderness in their own image, planning for a future of settlement and civilization, the long-held bonds and secrets between the two will be tested, fractured, and brokenāand possibly healed.
Fifty years from now, in the second half of the twenty-first century, climate change has ravaged the Earth. Having invested early in genetic engineering and food science, one company now owns all the worldās resources. But a growing resistance is working to redistribute both land and powerāand in a pivotal moment for the future of humanity, one of the companyās original founders will return to headquarters, intending to destroy what he helped build.
A thousand years in the future, North America is covered by a massive sheet of ice. One lonely sentient being inhabits a tech station on top of the glacierāand in a daring and seemingly impossible quest, sets out to follow a homing beacon across the continent in the hopes of discovering the last remnant of civilization.
Hugely ambitious in scope and theme,Ā AppleseedĀ is the breakout novel from a writer āas self-assured as he is audaciousā (NPR) who āmay well have invented the pulse-pounding novel of ideasā (Jess Walter). Part speculative epic, part tech thriller, part reinvented fairy tale,Ā AppleseedĀ is an unforgettable meditation on climate change; corporate, civic, and familial responsibility; manifest destiny; and the myths and legends that sustain us all.Ā
