Landscape with Invisible Hand

Practically every word reflects a prescient, bitingly precise critique of contemporary human folly, of economic and environmental inequities and absurdities. The Horn Book (starred review) Now a major motion picture When the vuvv first landed, it came as a surprise to aspiring artist Adam and the rest of planet Earth, though not an unwelcome one. But with his parents jobs replaced by alien tech and no money for food, clean water, or the vuvvs miraculous medicine, Adam has to get creative to survive. And soon enough, Adam must decide how far hes willing to go and what hes willing to sacrifice to give the vuvv what they want. National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson returns to future Earth in a sharply wrought satire of art and truth in the midst of colonization.
