______________________________________________
This is a story about a life lived in two halves.
It’s about what happens when real life collides with the increasing absurdity of a world accessed through a screen.
It’s about living in world that contains both an abundance of proof that there is goodness, empathy, and justice in the universe, and a deluge of evidence to the contrary.
It's a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.

The vulgarity of some of the descriptions in the first half are necessary to establish the harsh, brazen world of extremes and binaries in the internet world, which contrasts with the complexity of the real world - the subtleties of the delicate personal grief which unfolds in the second half, overlaid with bittersweet joy of a tiny new life.
I cried at the end in the acknowledgements.
Even if it’s not your cup of tea, give it a chance
