\n<\/div>\n

Life has thrown Zelu some curveballs over the years, but when she\u2019s suddenly dropped from her university job and her latest novel is rejected, all in the middle of her sister\u2019s wedding, her life is upended. Disabled, unemployed and from a nosy, high-achieving, judgmental family, she\u2019s not sure what comes next.<\/p>\n

In her hotel room that night, she takes the risk that will define her life \u2013 she decides to write a book VERY unlike her others. A science fiction drama about androids and AI after the extinction of humanity. And everything changes.<\/p>\n

What follows is a tale of love and loss, fame and infamy, of extraordinary events in one world, and another. And as Zelu\u2019s life evolves, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.<\/p>\n

Because sometimes a story really does have the power to reshape the world.<\/p>\n
