"The book is full of quirkiness and playful detail--it's not hard to imagine Wes Anderson adapting it, if he ever turned toward science fiction--but there's an overwhelming depth and poignancy to its virtuoso ending, which tugs all of its rich cultural symbolism into a heart-wrenching whole." --NPR
From the former editor-in-chief of io9.com, a stunning novel about the end of the world--and the beginning of our future
An ancient society of witches and a hipster technological startup go war as the world from tearing itself. To further complicate things, each of the groups' most promising followers (Patricia, a brilliant witch and Laurence, an engineering "wunderkind") may just be in love with each other.
As the battle between magic and science wages in San Francisco against the backdrop of international chaos, Laurence and Patricia are forced to choose sides. But their choices will determine the fate of the planet and all mankind.
In a fashion unique to Charlie Jane Anders, All the Birds in the Sky offers a humorous and, at times, heart-breaking exploration of growing up extraordinary in world filled with cruelty, scientific ingenuity, and magic.
