![]() ![]() The main question we start with is, given the fractured nature of our current moment, what would cause it to break? A mysterious affliction takes over a number of people, who basically begin sleepwalking in a pack - they don't react to any stimulus, don't have to stop for food or the bathroom, and are basically "locked in" to their sleepwalking. The truth these days may be stranger than fiction, but Wendig is brilliant at fictionalizing the zeitgeist to match the craziness of the real world today. That's true because Wendig is terrific at conveying how messed up our current society is. While it is an end-of-the world novel, it feels fully possible, fully real. This book is incredible - an 800 page novel that's at once a tribute to Stephen King's classic The Stand, but also wholly its own thing. ![]() ![]() If there's a cooler, more fun, more terrifyingly accurate to our times, more immersive book out this year than Chuck Wendig's new novel Wanderers.well, there's not. ![]()
