Sarah Pinsker has written a wonderful epic about music, community, and rediscovering the things that make us human. "You'd better keep a copy of A Song for a New Day with you at all times, because this book will help you survive the future. "An all-too plausible version of the apocalypse, rendered in such compelling prose that you won't be able to put it down.a lively and hopeful look at how community and music and life goes on even in the middle of dark days and malevolent corporate shenanigans."- Kelly Link, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Get In Trouble
Publishers Weekly's "Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2019" But when she sees how the world could actually be, that won't be enough. Find the illegal concerts and bring musicians into the limelight they deserve. The only catch is that she'll have to do something she's never done before and go out in public. By lucky chance, she finds a new job and a new calling: discover amazing musicians and bring their concerts to everyone via virtual reality. She spends her days in Hoodspace, helping customers order all of their goods online for drone delivery-no physical contact with humans needed. Rosemary Laws barely remembers the Before times. She does what she has to do: she performs in illegal concerts to a small but passionate community, always evading the law. Now, in the After, terror attacks and deadly viruses have led the government to ban concerts, and Luce's connection to the world-her music, her purpose-is closed off forever.
One of her songs had just taken off and she was on her way to becoming a star. In the Before, when the government didn't prohibit large public gatherings, Luce Cannon was on top of the world. Description After a global pandemic makes public gatherings illegal and concerts impossible, except for those willing to break the law for the love of music-and for one chance at human connection.
