Abstract

Novel for Young Teens, Co-Written with Rachel Delahaye

The city is starving but the farms are bursting with food. Something is very wrong.

In the aftermath of a riot turned lethal, city-kid Acker goes looking for law and order. After a farm truck is attacked in the city, farmgirl Dot sets off to find answers. When the two teens meet, they find common ground and a terrifying truth about the future. Someone has to confront reality…what’s left of it.... And it looks like it can only be them.

In this dramatic, thought-provoking, and prescient story Mimi and Rachel imagine a world where AI, initially created to help avoid human greed, has gone disastrously wrong – endangering the survival of the human race.
