About this Event
Join us in store for a Q&A with author Lucy Lapinska where they will be discussing their new sci-fi novel, Some Body Like Me, a dystopian love story for fans of Blade Runner!
Known more for their stories aimed at a younger audience, Some Body Like Me is the author’s first novel aimed at adults. Lucy Lapinska will be joined by fellow author Vikki Patis for a conversation about the new book, followed by a Q&A and a signing with stock available to purchase on the day.
Synopsis:
As the world falls apart around them, piece by piece, Abigail Fuller spends humanity's final days looking after her husband David.
But that's not true, not really. Abigail isn't David's wife. She's not even human. She's a replacement, built in the image of the real Abigail, who died sixteen years ago.
And in three weeks, when the law changes, Abigail will no longer have to do anything David says. She'll be free to go where she likes, do whatever she wants to do. But having never lived for herself, Abigail now faces profound questions about what she is, how she wants to live, and who she wants to love.
Perhaps she should start with herself.
Tender, powerful and thought-provoking, Some Body Like Me explores the concept of AI, the boundaries of sexuality and the indefinable human capacity for love at the end of the world. Perfect for fans of Emily St John Mandel, Kazuo Ishiguro and Kaliane Bradley.
