On a dying Earth in a not-so-distant future, Josiane and René are the first to enter a new virtual world where just about anything is possible… Part dystopian love story, part psychedelic meditation on human nature, “Alt-Life” takes the reader down a mind-bending rabbit hole of desire, loneliness, and self-discovery.
“Though this book lives inside a otherworldly science-fictional cocoon that is almost entirely devoid of recognizable politics, Cadène still manages to paint a striking portrait of the human condition within a post-human reality. Alt-Life is complex and simple, it’s true and it’s false, it’s psychedelic and mundane — but it’s totally worth your time.” Doom Rocket
