When all the world’s technology ceases to function, it is time to find a new way of living—or an old way. Two women—exiled for being too old to bear children, trudge across the desolate winter prairie, clinging to traditional wisdom for survival. A charismatic stranger appears, seeking their aid, but will they share their knowledge of the past and provide hope for the future to the community that branded them “useless”?
Reviewers have called The Unplugging “so funny, smart, and nuanced…”
“…an emotional, immediate morality tale…timely, fascinating, and necessary.”
