About this audiobook
In this new world, Carson, on the East Coast, is desperate to find Beatrix, a woman on the West Coast who holds his heart. Working his way along a cross-country railroad line, he encounters lost souls, clever opportunists, and those who believe they'll be saved by an evangelical preacher in the middle of the country. Meanwhile, Beatrix and her neighbors begin to construct a cooperative community that suggests the end could be, in fact, a bright beginning.
Without modern means of communication, will Beatrix and Carson reach each other, and what will be left of the old world if they do? The answers may lie with a fifteen-year-old girl who could ultimately decide the fate of the cross-country lovers.
Editor's Note
Editor’s pick…
A dystopian with a hopepunk heart: With its central love story and quaint portrayal of the reconnection of communities in the wake of a devastating flu, the collapse of the global economy, and the loss of running electricity, “The Lightest Object in the Universe” is one of the most optimistic pieces of apocalyptic fiction you’ll read. It’s compelling enough to make you wish you were living through the end of the world.
