The Runaway Restaurant

A young woman falls in love with a biohacked model, a woman with gadgets implanted in various parts of her body. A mother searches for her missing daughter by taking on a hitchhiker in the hopes of finding a restaurant rumored to be a destination for runaways. A man suddenly starts dreaming the dreams of his girlfriend, but is she dreaming his? After a pandemic wipes out modern civilization, a group of survivors must decide whether to merge with the Mother Earthlings, a clan determined to repopulate the Earth. A book for lovers of Doris Lessing and Emily St. John Mandel, Tessa Yang's The Runaway Restaurant marks the arrival of a wry and haunting new voice in speculative literary fiction.
