Book description
We've always imagined the world coming to an end in spectacular,
explosive fashion. But what if - instead - humanity is just destined to
slowly crumble?
For Jasper and his nomadic tribe, their former life as middle-class
Americans seems like a distant memory. Their world took a turn for the
worse - and then never got better. Resources are running out, jobs keep
getting scarcer, and the fabric of society is slowly disintegrating . .
. .
But in the midst of this all, Jasper's just a guy trying to make ends
meet, find a nice girl who won't screw him around, and keep his group
safe on the violent streets.
Soft Apocalypse
follows the tribe's struggle to find a place for themselves and their
children in the dangerous new place their world has become. Will
McIntosh is a Hugo award winner and Nebula finalist whose short stories
have appeared in Asimov's
(where he won the 2010 Reader's Award for short story), Strange Horizons
and Interzone
, among others. He worked as a psychology professor in the Southeastern
US, but now writes full time. He lives with his wife and their 3
year-old twins, in Williamsburg, Virginia.
