Author Conversation and Book Signing: Annalee Newitz with Charlie Jane Anders
4:00pm
The highly anticipated science fiction debut from founder of io9, Autonomous features a rakish pharmaceutical pirate named Jack who traverses the world in her own submarine. Styling herself as a Robin Hood-style heroine fighting to bring cheap drugs to the poor, Jack's latest drug is leaving a trail of lethal overdoses across what used to be North America. The drug compels people to become addicted to their work. On Jack's trail are an unlikely pair: a military agent and his partner, Paladin, a military robot, who fall in love against all expectations. Autonomous alternates between the activities of Jack and her co-conspirators, and Joe and Paladin, as they all race to stop a bizarre drug epidemic that is tearing apart lives and causing worldwide catastrophe.
Annalee Newitz is an American journalist, editor, and author of both fiction and nonfiction.
