Remember You Will Die

From the author of When Franny Stands Up comes a genre-bending story told in linked obituaries and newsfeeds over three hundred years about one AI woman grappling with her grief after the mysterious death of her human daughter, and wondering what it really means to be human.

"A reminder, spelled out in boldface, of the remarkable tenacity of life." - Wall Street Journal

"Kaleidoscopic...a fascinating and fresh reading experience." - Chicago Reader

Can the absence of words tell a story? Like a pattern in lace, the holes as important as the threads?

A search. A puzzle. Sixty protagonists—all of whom are dead.

Told entirely through obituaries and ricocheting through time, Remember You Will Die is an innovative, genre-bending epic about the messy tapestry of human history and the threads that connect us, told through the eyes of Peregrine, an AI mother grappling with the unexpected death of her human daughter, Poppy.

And from the newspaper clippings of individual lives emerges something else unexpected—generations entwined through blood and art and the consequences of their actions, betrayals and redemptions that traverse our dying world and beyond.

Spanning continents, centuries, planets, and genres, and centring a diverse mix of human experiences, Remember You Will Die is a provocative exploration of who we are and what we could be.
