Danae is not only herself. She is concealing a connection to a grieving collective inside of her body.

But while she labors as a tech servant in the dangerous underwater enclave of Bloom City, her fractured self cannot mend. In a desperate escape, Danae and her lover, Naoto, hire the enigmatic ex-mercenary Alexei to guide them out of the imploding city.

But for Danae to reunify, the three new fugitives will have to flee across the otherworldly beauty of the post-apocalyptic Southwest. Meanwhile, Danae's warlord enemy, the Duke, and a strange new foe, the Borrower, already seek them at any price.

Evoking the gritty cyberpunk of Mad Max and the fluid idealism of Sense8, Unity is a spectacular new re-envisioning of humanity. Breakout author Elly Bangs has created an expressive, philosophical science-fiction thriller that expands upon consciousness itself.

Critic reviews

“An astonishing debut, twisty and startling, demonstrating both the disciplined development of a long-gestated project and the raw, dynamic flashes of an author’s early work. It shows intense interest in the distance between conversation and communion...an absorbing, thrilling ride.” (The New York Times)

“A vivid, fascinating, and utterly believable future world.... Echoes of Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon or the Netflix series Sense8.” (New York Journal of Books)

A nice story, good world building (without clueless protagonist), good work on that, some nice poetic turns with language. Also, good cyber punk fare, with a good bit of hart.

interesting narrative, good voice work
