Why say goodbye? Death is only a temporary glitch in this eerily plausible future from award-winning graphic novelist Brian Box Brown.Brenda s mom is dying but not for long. Like millions of others, she s uploaded her consciousness to the groundbreaking new app Forevr, which allows the surviving family members to chat with her on their screens for a very reasonable monthly fee. Now Brenda s dad doesn t have to be alone while Brenda and her girlfriend focus on building their careers as wilderness survival influencers. But when this very modern family sets out on a camping trip, their tensions and tech addictions build to an explosive climax whose consequences may last forever.
